Bait and Switch

I had a Comcast representative who offered to cancel my landline and save me $20 on my bill every month. He repeated several times that it would not affect the TV, Internet or extend my contract. Sure enough, he changed my entire package. After spending hours on the phone with several representatives and supervisors, it turns out my package no longer exist and nothing can be done. They have offered me to pay an additional $50 a month for the same service I had prior. Several tickets have been created with no resolution

@user_n53pni Thanks for posting to the community and sharing your experience. We know having the right expectations is key for a proper resolution. If there is a grandfathered package, agents need to review and advise of any changes that would apply in searching for a new promotion. Once a new promotion is applied, if the tickets are not able to reassign the old promotion successfully, it is no longer available. In cases like these it is imperative that we coach the agent, and try to find an offer or promotion that matches the old services as best as possible. For example premium channels are now add ons, as they have their own apps and portals with the subscriptions, compared to having them included with the highest channel line up like before. We are happy to walk through the latest promotions together to match what you had. Send us a direct message with your full name and complete service address to “Xfinity Support”.

@XfinityBenny​ thank you for your response, but as I mentioned above, I have already spoken to several supervisors whose resolution was to charge me about $50 extra for the same services I had prior which is obviously no resolution to the customer who was scammed

Thanks for those details, and I am happy to hear you were able to speak with a few supervisors regarding the issue. Do you know if they were able to submit agent feedback for the agent who completed the change? We definitely want to ensure that this does not happen again in the future.

Agent feedback doesn’t help me. Yes, they said they would listen to the conversation and coach the representative but none of that helps make the mistake right. Now I’m stuck with less channels, less internet speed, another contract for more money!  Someone needs to make this right.

Typical illegal bait and switch scenario which Comcast is notoriously known for. Since this happened to me I started to do some research and found that this exact same thing has happened to thousands of Comcast customers. Comcast lies, makes unapproved changes on the account and the only option the customer has is to pay more for the same services and on top of it extend their contract. Unbelievable that Comcast would treat their customers like this.
