Customer Sales Reps Lying About Us being able to have service

Hello, I figured or heard this is closer to the higher up. Short story simple: customer sales service reps are saying location is serviceable after disconnection(They pretty much said, yes but we are going to collections to figure out yada yada), anyway the current situation is. Reps have restored my service to my address, however, they once again sent it to collections and the rep told me "no worries, you're service will be restored at this address" and once again sends said address to collections just like before. Ok cool, we're at a round about now. service shows back again on my account, no problem. to put the situation simply: It is frustrated that the line is blocked under collections for my dad's past due and not mine, not my problem neither but every time sales rep act like okay sure absolutely, you will have service. so the basic question is: Is this possible?? to have service on a blocked service line?? under my own account at the same address
(I pay the utility bills there, while I am his son, it should not mean that we should all be punished, we just want Xfinity Internet and I am well above capable of paying the price locked guarantee as promised on the new deal).

P.S. I also have proof of this manipulation tactic which to me is unethical but I did screenshot our conversation).

Concern moved here to the Customer Service help section for greater exposure to Comcast corporate employees (The Digital Care Team) for assistance.

Hello OGVampire thank you so much for taking the time to reach out here via our Xfinity Forums, and for sharing your experience.  Based on how you've described the situation, the address does have a service block for collections on it, which will require proof of residency to resolve. This would require a store visit, but can remove a block for an account at the same address or under similar name. The collections block can also be removed by paying the past due for the former account.

Ok but is there anyway to not go to the store and send proof of residency online

There is not, as we do need positive identification confirmed by the in-store associates and noted in our systems. Our Xfinity Store Locator  makes finding that closest retail location fast and easy.

An address block locks that whole location down, so no, splitting would not work. My best advice would be to pay the past due to have the block lifted or provide the proof of residency at a local corporate store showing that you are the homeowner/responsible party.

Welp we tried going there previously when the reps said to and got declined anyway. We also tried calling over the phone just be told to call the collections agency to do installment plans. Obviously we cannot pay the entire bill.
