Cannot cancel NOW internet service

I've been trying to cancel my NOW internet service for two days and it seems to be the unsolvable problem for Xfinity. I've talked with multiple customer service agents and nobody can successfully cancel it. I'm unable to cancel it myself from my account page because I've been getting a "There's been an error. Try again later" message every single time I try for the last 48+ hours. 

I'm at a loss for what to do and Xfinity can't even seem to solve the problem and I'm stuck paying for a service I can't even use because I get the same error message when I try turning off auto-pay.

Hey there, user_83y9te, thanks for reaching out through Xfinity Forums regarding the issues with your NOW Internet services. Here is a link with the steps to cancel your services, https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/now-portal-overview. Are you attempting to cancel prior to activation or after?

Hi there,

I've followed these steps many, many times and all I get is an error message telling me to try again later. I'm trying to cancel after activation.

user_83y9te - Can you walk me through the steps you're taking? Within the NOW Portal, you can discontinue your services at any time by turning off automatic payments. To turn off automatic payments, select See details on the NOW home page for your NOW Internet or NOW Mobile services and then select Turn off autopay. You’ll be prompted to confirm your choice and will then receive a confirmation message.

@user_83y9te​ I am been trying to do this for six months as well and every time I do it, they tell me it’s good and then every month the money comes out of my bank account. I don’t know what to do

@user_83y9te​ did you ever get a real solution other than to follow the steps ? Because it’s not working for me and I don’t want this thing to keep taking my money for a modem I don’t have

Were you able to cancel?I called a month ago and canceled and this week was fraudulently bills $30.  I am having the same issues. I've talked to 17 people's over two days and 6 hours found out NOW Internet is 100% self serve so no one can touch it. My app shows it active but when I select autopay or setting to try and do anything it says I don't have now Internet so I can't turn off autopay. I canceled my debit card and disputed the charges with my bank and am highly considering speaking to an attorney because there are laws about making it difficult to cancel and refusing to turn off autopay when requested.

@user_50etak​ I'm in the same boat. It's been 2 weeks of me talking to someone nearly daily trying to cancel or turn off autopay, so I finally had to report my debit card as lost so they just can't charge me. And every customer service person I talk with gives me the BS line of "Don't worry, I'll solve your problem and ensure you leave here happy!" Can't recall the last time I left a conversation with Xfinity happy.

That doesn't work any more. There is no auto pay setting in the Xfinity now app, nor on the web page. 

I haven't tried using the cancel button yet (moving in another 2 weeks), but turning off auto pay is no longer available. 

I did a live chat - they said they turned it off and removed my payment card from the account. 

Neither of those things actually occurred.

@Kalash Thank you for reaching out. Are you still being charged for NOW services even after you were told it was turned off?

I’m in the same boat and zero help from Xfinity.  I had to call Discover and they are going to block transactions until Feb 2026.  I hope it fails and finally closes out.  

Clearly this isn’t an isolated incident and they need to have a way to intervene and cancel.

I am having the same problem. How do you cancel their pre-paid service? No one on the customer support staff nor the chat option are able to help me.

multiple phone calls, trip to xfinity wasted time, and doing the same thing with  the portal with no result

there is a heading that says cancellation before activating and then it goes to a pre-populated box to says click if equipment error

very surprise xfinity can go so low to get a bad stain

ridiculous

We really appreciate you taking the time to share this, and honestly — we hear the frustration loud and clear. When you've already spent time on the phone, made a trip to the store, followed all the steps online, and still ended up stuck in a loop with no resolution… it’s beyond frustrating. I’ve been there too, where it feels like every path you take leads right back to square one, and that’s definitely not the experience we want anyone to have. 

 

We would like to look into this for you. Can you initiate a direct message and start with your full name and address? To start a direct message, you must be signed in. Please click the "Direct Messaging" icon in the top right of the page next to the bell, and send your message to "Xfinity Support". Talk to you there!

I am also facing the same issue of NOW internet service. Despite multiple visits to Xfinity stores and requests cancellations, charges continue to appear on my credit card for several months. Neither a visit to the store nor an online chat has solved the problem. What should I do?

@user_2mrzzp​ I got told by an agent that I had to close my card and dispute the charges with my bank. My bank at the time said it wasn’t the first time someone has canceled a card to get them to stop billing. Once you do that though the plan will auto cancel.

I was also advised at the store to cancel my credit card number, but I don't want to take such action—it feels dishonest...

@XfinityShawn​ lol that doesn’t work but thank you. Hundreds of us have been advised that the only way to cancel is to cancel our card since the service is 100% self service and no customer service representatives can cancel NOW services and there is no designated team.

user_50etak I see, and I will look into this more on my end to see if there is a way to make this process easier for you, and others. Thank you for the feedback.

I have also called customer service. The staff at the store have made multiple efforts as well. However, the cancellation still hasn’t been processed. Just three days ago, another $45 was withdrawn from my account. I have already requested cancellation and am not using the service at all, yet my money keeps disappearing. This is extremely unfair. Please tell me if there is any way to resolve this other than calling customer service.

Hey @user_2mrzzp , Thank you for visiting our official Xfinity Forums Community support page. We greatly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience regarding the cancellation of NOW internet. I would be more than happy to offer my assistance looking into this further for you. Have you removed autopay in the NOW portal? Since NOW is prepaid removing the autopay would allow the subscription to cancel. You will need to log into the NOW portal to make these changes and remove your billing information. Please check out NOW products and NOW Internet FAQs.

NOWポータルにログインしましたが、サブスクリプションプランに関する情報が見つかりません。これは、数か月前に店舗でキャンセルをリクエストしたためです。しかし、まだ45ドル請求されています。サブスクリプションのステータスとクレジットカードの請求履歴を確認
できませんか?

I logged into the NOW portal, but I couldn’t find any information regarding my subscription plan. This is because I requested a cancellation at the store a few months ago. However, I am still being charged $45.
Would you be able to check the status of my subscription and the billing history on my credit card?

Hey there, thanks for reaching out through Xfinity Forums regarding your NOW services. Were you able to turn off the autopay on the account or are you showing the option to remove autopay?

I have tried multiple times, but it keeps showing “You don’t have NOW services,” which means my subscription appears to be inactive. However, the $45 charge continues. I am asking again—please check my subscription status and contact me directly via the registered email address.

Unfortunately @user_2mrzzp, we don't have access to NOW accounts on this platform. NOW accounts are supported via our XFINITY Assistant chat here https://www.xfinity.com/xfinityassistant/
