Why is my bill not updating

I was going to cancel my home internet service today after the bill went up to a price I can't afford. I spent almost an hour on chat with a rep who offered me a "manager promotion plan" that brought my bill to an amount I can afford. They told me I would get multiple discounts to achieve the affordable pricing and it would update within an hour or so of me agreeing to the new service plan. 

It has been well over 3 hours now and I'm still being shown the too expensive price and it's going to auto-charge me in a week. I cannot afford this price.

When is it going to update?

If it doesn't update before the auto charge, I will have to cancel my internet, like I originally tried to do until they talked me into a cheaper plan that I CAN afford.

Hello, @user_ML. Thank you for reaching out over Xfinity Forums for support, you have contacted the right place for assistance in regard to your billing concern. I wanted to ensure I'm getting the proper expectations set up for you in regard to billing updates. 

 

If your current statement has printed, and you make a change to your service in the middle of a billing cycle. The new promotion will take effect the day the change was made and updates overnight, but your billing amount won't be updated until your next bill prints out. The next statement will have a prorated credit for the higher billed amount, but your balance that printed on your current statment will be the amount that is taken for autopay.

Thank your for your reply. To clarify, the rep did not tell me the truth when they said the bill would update today? So I'm going to have to either pay the month's too expensive charge this month or cancel my service? Thanks for your help.

@user_ML From experience, even when I've seen credits post to balances during the middle of the billing cycle, and you're able to see the information updated when logging in online or through the Xfinity App the printed balance is what is taken out for auto-pay. 

 

We should definitely be setting up the proper expectations of when you would see the credit applied during the middle of billing cycle and auto-pay set up. With the prorated credit on the next billing cycle, not only will there be the new promotion pricing the credit for the difference of the previous pricing will make next month's statement even lower than what you would normally see.

Thank you for explaining. I'm really upset because I specifically told the rep I cannot pay the new charge this month and needed to cancel my service and they insisted they could change the price *this* month and insisted I don't cancel my service. Now I have to go back and contact someone again to cancel the service since they did not make it clear that the new pricing wouldn't take effect until next month.

I'm going through the same thing.  Did it resolve? I'm in to month 2 of the old bill still showing in the app and the money is about to come out in 2 days. Not sure what to do.

Same here.  I canceled my TV, but it's still showing my old bill.  It should be $60 less because my pro-rated rate would be less 2/3 of $90.

How long ago has it been since you changed your plan? Usually, you are going to see the prorates affect your next statement, not the current one. Sometimes you will pay the lower amount if the change was made far enough in advance of your Autopay date.
