Mobile Trade-In Never Credited- 4 months and counting

I traded in my phone for a new phone on October 4, 2024. I sent in the trade-in to Assurant that same day. Tracking shows the phone to be received October 8, 2024.

I have not received my credit as of yet. I have contacted customer service at least six times to try and resolve this problem. Customer service tells me that I have to contact Assurant, who processes these trade-ins. When I call Assurant, they tell me that I have to contact Xfinity. So no one has been able to resolve this issue, despite multiple calls.

At this point, if I can't get this resolved shortly, I will file suit against Comcast for breach of contract, fraud and whatever other damages I can document. De facto breach of contract- Comcast made an offer, I accepted that offer, I made payment to Comcast and signed the contract. That's an executed contract. Which they never fulfilled on their end.

I think if this is standard practice, I will look into filing a class-action lawsuit against Comcast. This is fraudulent and criminal activity, or pure incompetence.

No, my account shows that the trade-in was received on October 8, but still in "processing." For four months?

@user_6fjjgn The team does have a longer turnaround time and they are working on the requests in the order they were received.

Four months and still not processed is far in excesss of what is reasonable. If you’re defending Comcast’s practices, you’re not being helpful at all and you shouldn’t even be participating in this conversation.

user_6fjjgn Without being able to access the account, we aren't able to make a fully educated guess on why you haven't received trade-in credits. I can appreciate how frustrating the wait would be though. Our team is happy to take a look and see what tickets have been open and if there are any updates. As my colleague @XfinityRaul mentioned we would need you to send us a DM to Xfinity Support with your full name and address to get started. 

To send a direct message:
Click "Sign In" if necessary
Click the "Direct Message" icon or  https://forums.xfinity.com/direct-messaging
Click the "New message" (pen and paper) icon
The "To:" line prompts you to "Type the name of a person". Instead, type "Xfinity Support" there.
As you are typing a drop-down list appears. Select "Xfinity Support" from that list.
A "Xfinity Support" graphic replaces the "To:" line.
Type your message in the text area near the bottom of the window   
Press Enter to send it

They ripped me off too like that. [Edited: "Solicitation"].

If more people had a similar experience, [Edited: "Solicitation"] is probably the best way to make the company aware of its fraudulent practices.
