Xfinity is stealing money from my bank account

My bill is due on the 22nd of every month. I called and set up an extension to pay my bill on a later date which would be October 07th, 2023. On the 2nd of October 2023 I called xfinity and made a payment of $215 in which is the amount due on Sept 22nd 2023. I was asked if I needed to cancel the extension I previously requested and was told to press 1 for yes and press 2 for no. I pressed 1 to cancel the extension providing I made a payment of the balance due of $215. On the following day, October 3rd, 2023 3 a.m., xfinity illegally withdrawal $415.34 out of my checking out without my consent. The transaction is called theft, injustice, and illegal. I called xfinity and clearly made them aware of this in which I was told a ticket # is filed and confirmed by the billing department to refund my money in full of $415.34 within 24 to 48 hrs. The money xfinity stole out of my account is part of my rent thats due on the 3rd of October therefore I could not pay my rent. On top of not paying my rent I was told an extra $150 late fee will be added to rent and if not received in 3 business days, I will get evicted in which I have the notice in my possession. Today is October 6, 2023 and $415.34 that stole from my bank account by using my debit card # was not put back as a credit into my bank account. I am currently on the phone now with xfinity close to 2 hours, waiting for my credit. Today is work and I'm home in distress on the phone with xfinity, held captive without being able to go to work. I got a response advising they can only credit me $137.  I advised they need to put back my full $415.24 into my account and currently I'm on hold. Previous to this on December 2022 xfinity signed me up to a mobil account frequently without my consent and has been stealing money out of my checking account for a service I never new nothing about. I signed up for internet, cable, and home security only and have been paying for exactly those services only. The issue got resolved in July of 2023 in which it cost me to lose my job from trauma and stress. It's 3 months now since the 2st incident and xfinity is stealing from my bank again. Somebody please help me so I can stop them from doing this. I need to get the government of America to step in now and also I have to file lawsuit immediately. They need to stop hurting me like this and other customers. My phone number is[Edited: "Personal Information"].

The concern is not "Home Security / Rules And Automations" help related.............. Topic moved here to the proper help section, and for greater exposure to Comcast corporate employees (The Digital Care Team) for assistance.

They continue to steal from me and my elderly mother.....for years.  We have two mobile phones.  I am going through arbitration with them due to overcharging data.  It skyrocketed when my son was home for three weeks out of four.  After I filed the complaint, it went down.  Now it has jumped up again.  I switched to unlimited data via online but it is not being applied.  My elderly mother has been paying for 24/7 professional protection for years and years, but there is not a soul monitoring it.  She was paying for four set boxes at $9 each when she only had three.  I returned the two but they insist there were three.  The one she kept has jumped up to over $11.  She is also paying $56 for the 1200 mbps speed internet that she does not need.  I'm not sure what ever happened to their fire alarm monitoring and changing of batteries, but they haven't done that in years, but she pays $40 for it.  I have also changed the tv package online but they have not applied it.  There has been lawsuit after lawsuit against xfinity for their decietful ambition.  I do not understand why they continue to get by with this.  They continue to do the very things they have lost lawsuits over.   I don't know how the government gets away with failing to regulate xfinity.  They say they do, but facts say otherwise.  Whomever comes up with the thieving ideas for this company needs to be addressed.  Sadly, they are experts at getting by with it.  There is a reason that they only refund back to set amount of days when they are called out.  I would say its's against the law......but....it is and it does not matter.

I recently had the same issue with them stealing from me. I filed complaints with the FCC, FTC, & BBB. [Edited: "Solicitation"] They'll also openly lie to the companies set in place to ensure these business practices don't occur. I was forced to close my account after over 10 years and once they decide to stick you with one of these " sole contacts" Get ready to either close your account or be harassed. I honestly doubt you'll ever see that money again unless you call your bank and dispute the charge for fraud.

I have a similar issue. I called to try to get the address changed on my account and they said it would cost me 99$ I said absolutely not,got transferred and next thing you know they are sending me verification codes they want from me and then my bank is texting me and calling me about fraud against my account for over 30000 grand on 2 transactions... Can't get in touch with anyone state side or competent to have my account cancelled. Not sure who to report to or what to do next. They are crooks and should have a class action lawsuit against them.

An Xfinity agent that I spoke to on 1/17/2024 at 8:56am PST used my bank account information I have on file to charge 3 separate charges totaling $558.13. I did not authorize these transactions nor did I receive any service for them. My bank statement shows them under "Comcast Cable 210118". I called Xfinity immediately to refund me for these unauthorized charges. Three agents hung up on me after I told them what had happened. So $560 has now been charged to my bank account and Xfinity doesn't want to reverse it. They do not have a resolution on their end, so they refuse to refund the money.

We just had the same thing  today - we have our standard autopay amount withdrawn, then today we have 3 new charges:

COMCAST CABLE SVC 240126     $102.00

COMCAST CABLE 240126            $120.00

COMCAST CABLE SVC 240128    $125.00

We called comcast and they stated those charges don't show up anywhere in their system, so we're thinking our data has been hacked. Our bank was notified and canceled our checking account.

Xfinity stole money from my account and sent me a phone I didn’t want 

I’m unable to return the phone.

don’t go with Xfinity. They do not refund money back into your bank account. They credit account I did not get a credit towards my bill. This has been for 5 1/2 months now. Do not trust. Xfinity do not give them your account information they lie, and they will continue to lie

Xfinity steals money in every way. I'm just waiting for them to steal enough so when I hire a lawyer it'll be worth it. Paper trail is everything and printing the chat logs. If you don't do it online there is no documentation. I actually have at least 3 separate occasions of them stealing in different ways and a few individual times within those types of ways. 

They are aware of my complaints and yours, they just don't care. They'll post on here for you to contact them....you'll just be wasting your time.
