Cancellation online per California's Automatic Renewal Law (ARL)

Hello,

I need to cancel service. I wish to cancel online as I signed up online. Comcast is legally required to provide such a mechanism per California's Automatic Renewal Law. I do not see a means of doing so. 

(I have looked for the Direct Message icon per earlier forum threads and don't see it in my UI. See attached.)

Thank you.

Attempted to cancel my service on Jan 1st 2026 and as a CA resident I reviewed the Xfinity website for the click to cancel option.  There is no option online, only the online chat which only offered a callback 3 days later when I requested the cancellation of service.  On that call I was specifically told by the support person that click to cancel is NOT available online and must be done over the phone. 

A complaint is being filed with the state authorities and a class action lawsuit will undoubtedly follow.

@XfinityMarcus,

 Your response did not make it to me through your community as no notifications were provided, I only learned of this response when a direct message was sent by another user who wanted to join a class action lawsuit.

 My service was cancelled after being forced to wait 3 days for a call back, and being required to pay while I waited for said callback and the next step in the process of equipment return (which could have been done while I waited if I had been provided with the details).  This provides more evidence of the failure to abide by the rules of click to cancel.

 Again, click to cancel should not require ANY contact with ANY individual if the service was signed up for online, as it was in this case.  It requires the process of cancellation to be as fast and simple as the process to sign up.  Your support team and leadership should be aware of this change.
