Formal Complaint – Defective iPhone, Trade-In Dispute, and Charges for Two Devices

To Xfinity Mobile Customer Relations and Executive Escalations,

I am writing to formally dispute the charges associated with my iPhone trade-in and my request for a warranty replacement.

I traded in my iPhone 16 Pro Max to Xfinity Mobile after being offered an upgrade to an iPhone 18 Pro. I surrendered my original device in exchange for the new phone under the terms presented to me.

Unfortunately, the iPhone 18 Pro I received has been experiencing overheating issues. I contacted Xfinity Mobile to request a warranty replacement because of this problem.

During that process, I was informed that I would be required to pay for the original iPhone 18 Pro I received through the trade-in, as well as pay for the additional device requested as a warranty replacement, in addition to applicable taxes.

I am disputing these charges and requesting a clear explanation of why I would be required to pay for two devices when the second device was requested to address a problem with the original phone.

I respectfully request that Xfinity Mobile:

  1. Review the original trade-in transaction and the terms under which I surrendered my iPhone 16 Pro Max.
  2. Provide a detailed written breakdown of the charges and financing agreements for both devices.
  3. Explain the contractual basis for requiring payment for both devices as part of this warranty process.
  4. Investigate the overheating issue and provide an appropriate warranty resolution.
  5. Review and correct any improper or duplicate charges and apply all applicable trade-in or promotional credits.
  6. Provide a written response explaining the available options for resolving this matter without imposing unjustified charges.

I would like this matter escalated to a supervisor or the appropriate executive customer relations team.

If we cannot reach a satisfactory resolution, I will consider filing a complaint with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the appropriate consumer protection authorities.

Please provide a written response and a case reference number for this complaint.

Sincerely,

[Edited: "Personal Information"]
