Xfinity Agent Said Bill Was Extended, But It's Not

Yesterday I spoke to customer service agent "Ishnoor" around 1pm asking if my bill can be extended until January 6th when I would be able to pay.

They said they would see what they could do. I kept the tab open, but they didn't get back to me until around 3pm. When we resumed communication, they took another 30 min to resolve the issue, speaking with their supervisor, checking my account, trying to upsell me on a mobile plan, etc.

They said my service would be extended until January 5th. I said that's fine. 

Today, January 2nd, my service has been disconnected. 

1) Are Xfinity agents allowed to tell customers their bill is extended, but it ends up not being true?

2) Now, I can't speak with an agent about this UNTIL I pay my bill, which was supposed to be extended per Ishnoor.

3) How can I speak to someone about Ishnoor's customer service? The agent wrote two paragraphs asking me to give him a "10" rating, how much it would mean to him, etc, which I did. But a 10 isn't deserved, especially if he lied about creating the extension.

Hi there! Thanks for taking the time to reach out. I know how important it is to need a payment arrangement sometimes as a customer myself. I am so sorry to learn that we have made you feel this way. We will certainly do everything within our power to rectify this. Over social media, we are a dedicated team of billing experts who specialize in providing solutions to billing concerns such as this. We can help. In reviewing this, I see that we advised that we would see what we could do. Does this sound correct?

 

For a more reliable and easier way of setting up a payment arrangement, we recommend doing this online instead of having to speak with someone. Does this make sense? For future reference, here is a great link to more details on how to schedule a payment arrangement online here. This would prevent any miscommunication or human error. Here are also the steps below. Please let me know if this helps.

 

  1. If you need more time to pay your bill and you’re eligible for our flexible payment options, you’ll see a card on the Overview page of My Account that recommends chatting with us. To set up a payment arrangement with Xfinity Assistant, click Chat for options.
  2. Select Billing and payments.
  3. Click Set up a payment arrangement.
  4. You can choose when to add your payment method. If your service is already suspended or if the date you’re able to pay falls on or after the date your service will be suspended, you’ll need to add a payment method and schedule a payment in My Account.
  5. If you select Add a payment method later, you’ll continue setting up a payment arrangement through Xfinity Assistant by choosing a date.
  6. You’ll see a confirmation with a reminder to add a payment method by your payment arrangement date.
