I moved but cannot get internet service because there is an existing account

Hi,

I moved and so I tried to move my Xfinity account to my new address. However I received a voicemail from Xfinity saying that the new address already has Xfinity service and they cannot reach the account holder. I then went to an Xfinity store with my lease in hand but the people in the store said they could not help me and to call customer support. Chat support gave me the customer support number but when I called I could not reach a human being. Please let me know how to move my account.

user_mmjzyt Welcome to our community forum! We are so excited that you are bringing your Xfinity service to your new home :). I'm sorry the transfer of service didn't go as smoothly as usual. When you visited a store, was it a direct Xfinity location or was it a third party branded partner store? You can find the closest direct Xfinity store here and please use that link to schedule an appointment so you can save time waiting in line if they happen to be busy when you arrive.

When you try to set up service at a location that still has active service from a previous customer, you can take 2 documents to an Xfinity Retail Store as proof of residency. You must show at least one primary and one secondary document from the lists on this page. Documents must be complete, correct, and without changes. Please let me know if you have any questions.

When I was there they said my service was no longer active and I would have to open a new account. And that because the account is Internet Essentials, that they can't help me and that I have to work with customer support.

I went to 350 Washington St, Boston, MA 02108 - which I think is an Xfinity location.
