Damage Complaint

Had a lightning strike nearby. Damaged my tv and other devices that were hard wired. Nothing to do with power since the lights didnt flicker nor was anything tripped. Took a look at the outside lines and nothing was grounded at all.  Have pictures.  Filed a damage claim months ago.  Was jerked around and lied to that someone was working on my claim.  It was closed today with no phone calls/emails from anybody from Xfinity.  I guess I have to go to court now and post my pictures all over the internet to get a real resolution on this.

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

I'm glad our wonderful Forum expert @EG was able to bring your post to my attention.

Been ghosted again by Xfinity. 

If you fail to pay your bill on time - they will contact you on repeat hourly via calls/email/text. 

But if their negligence causes you an issue that costs you thousands of dollars they will ghost.

They will close your damage report and say they couldn't reach you. When in 2 months, I have zero history of a missed call/email/text from them. But they certainly could get ahold of me when my Xfinity bill was due.

The lines were not grounded and I had a nearby lightning strike take out thousand of dollars in equipment.  Xfinity ghosted me and treated me like I didn't even exist.
