Frustrated - Why Is It So Difficult to Cancel?

The cancellation process with Xfinity has been frustrating. In October 2024, I attempted to cancel my service through Xfinity’s website, only to discover that it’s not possible to do so online—you have to call them directly.

When I called, the representative made me repeat my request to cancel several times before reluctantly acknowledging my intent to discontinue service, as it no longer suited my situation. However, I never received any confirmation or notice that my service had been canceled.

I followed up via Xfinity’s support chat to cancel again, but the process was frustratingly repetitive. After navigating through more hurdles, they informed me that someone would call me to assist with the cancellation. Why they couldn’t cancel the service during the chat, I have no idea. When I requested a transcript of the chat, they initially said it wasn’t possible to email it. After insisting, they told me I could download it—but when I did, the transcript was incomplete, missing large portions of the conversation.

Three months later, I still haven’t received a call from Xfinity, and I’m still being charged. This entire process has been incredibly frustrating, especially given my demanding career. I shouldn’t have to waste so much time on something as simple as canceling a service.

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

I'm currently dealing with the same frustration. I went online to terminate my Xfinity services. After dancing with a chat bot. I finally got a rep. After repeatedly saying I was sure I wanted to terminate. I was told it was done. I'm supposed to receive an email confirmation of the order. However, the email order has no information. I just want confirmation that my service will be terminated on March 11 2025. So I tried to check again online with my account and got nowhere. This isn't Customer service it Customer chaos.

@XfinityJoe​ thank you for reaching out to share this. I have followed these steps and have still not been assisted sufficiently.

My account is still being charged, and I am still going in circles with Xfinity.

Yea, I'm going through the same thing.  When you order service, it's Bing bang boom.  Done.  When you want to cancel something, they just employ people to waste your time so you give up.  Ridiculous.

@XfinityDena​ 

I'm online with a live agent now for a couple hours.

This is after a couple days on the phone trying to speak to people that don't speak good English.

I only want to cancel a pending voice order which my modem/router does not support and I didn't realize that until after I placed the order.

Soon, I will just go to my bank and deny any payment to xfinity then you will also lose my business for internet service.

I've about had enough now.

Comcast team - I'm dealing with this too and could use some help. This issue has already taken up too much time. 

  • Cancelled on 3/22 - got a cancellation confirmation email "We received your cancellation request, and we're on it" with Last date of service 2025-03-22T00:00:00.0000000Z
  • Spoke to rep on 3/23 to confirm cancellation.
  • Got an email on 4/4 with a new "Your Xfinity services will be disconnected soon" with a new last date of service 2025-04-06T00:00:00.0000000Z
  • It's now 4/7 and my account still shows a pending order. This pending order message has been there since 3/22
  • I'm also being billed for this period.
