Need to report incompetent and

Appreciate if a supervisor from Xfinity Mobile can reach back to me regarding my recent experience with Xfinity Mobile agent support that resulted in following"

1. Repeated Transfers Without Resolution

  • 33 agents involved, yet no definitive action was taken to resolve a straightforward issue.
  • Frequent transfers between agents and teams, each requiring you to re-explain the situation.
  • No single agent took ownership or escalated the matter effectively to a supervisor or specialized team.

2. Poor Communication and Documentation

  • Agents repeatedly asked for basic information (e.g., name, zip code, payment method) already shared multiple times during the chat.
  • Critical details (e.g., UPS tracking number for iPad return) were ignored or misunderstood, forcing you to repeat yourself.
  • Agents failed to review previous notes, causing confusion and wasting your time.

3. Contradictory and Inaccurate Information

  • Agents provided inconsistent answers about billing, discounts, and promotional terms.
    • Example: Confusion over whether multi-product discounts apply for 12 or 24 months.
    • Promised $50/month charges repeatedly contradicted by claims of higher charges ($90+).
  • Misrepresentation of terms, such as the "free tablet line," when in reality, a $20 monthly fee applied.

4. Failure to Remove Returned iPad from Account

  • Despite your clear refusal of delivery and documented UPS tracking, the iPad remained on your account.
  • Charges for the iPad and its data plan continued to reflect on your account despite being unauthorized and returned.
  • Agents failed to proactively confirm the return or initiate a refund, leaving the issue unresolved.

5. Lack of Proactive Problem-Solving

  • Agents relied on vague assurances like “wait 30 days for a refund” without initiating immediate action or offering documentation.
  • Instead of resolving the issue, agents often suggested that you contact other departments (e.g., retention team, billing team, assurance team), offloading responsibility.

6. Absence of Accountability

  • No single agent accepted responsibility for resolving the issue end-to-end.
  • Even when you escalated, agents provided generic responses and avoided taking meaningful action.
  • Failure to involve supervisors meaningfully or ensure proper documentation of the resolution process.

7. Lack of Empathy and Time Wastage

  • Agents failed to acknowledge the inconvenience caused, with many interactions feeling robotic and dismissive.
  • Time wasted on unnecessary back-and-forth, with no significant progress despite hours of engagement.

Highlights of Incompetence:

  • Refusal to Take Ownership: No agent took initiative to resolve the issue holistically or coordinate across teams.
  • Failure to Act on Simple Requests: Removing a returned iPad from the account should be a basic task but was mishandled repeatedly.
  • Inefficient Systems: Reliance on rigid protocols and lack of inter-team communication exacerbated delays.
  • Over-Promising, Under-Delivering: Misleading claims about discounts and promotions without proper follow-through.

Impact on Me:

  • Significant time loss and frustration from managing an issue that should have been resolved in a single interaction.
  • Potential financial loss due to delays in refunds and unauthorized charges.
  • Erosion of trust in Xfinity’s customer support system.

Hi there, @user_ubmjao I'm very sorry for the inconvenience and the experience you had with our Xfinity Mobile team. Since you are requesting to speak with an Xfinity Mobile Supervisor, have you contacted our Xfinity Mobile team to request a supervisor?-Richard

Hi Richard - thank you for getting back to me. yes, I asked for a callback, but online agents kept transferring me to the next one, once seeing this:
hello I need to forward this chat to a BILLING SUPERVISOR (call back is ok) with the following: 5:21 pm 1. Written documentation via email that outlines: Confirmation of the iPad's return and a timeline for the removal of associated charges. 2. Immediate confirmation that the iPad and its charges are removed from your account. 3. A one-time credit or goodwill gesture for the time and frustration endured.
