Cancelled account still "pending"

I recently moved to a new house where my husband had set up a new Comcast account, so instead of moving mine, I cancelled it.  Cancellation required me to wait 2 days for security reasons (which is strange, but ok).

On Monday an agent called and confirmed when I requested it to be cancelled immediately, because I knew our modem's MAC address would remain active on the old account until it was completely closed.

Last night during my 3 1/2 hour conversation with 10 "dedicated agents" on the outsourced live chat help, I found out that the old account is "pending cancellation" for another 7 days.  Which means we can't activate our new Xfinity service we are already paying for, with the modem we already own, until the old account is finally closed.

This conversation is no longer open for comments or replies and is no longer visible to community members.
