PLEASE HELP! I WAS TRICKED INTO A CONTRACT.

On December 30, 2023 I contacted Comcast via chat because I have an old set top box and remote that I need to return. I have a smart TV with the Xfinity streaming app so no equipment is needed. I only needed help getting a UPS label. The employee, Kajal assured that he could help.

After getting my information he sent a link to my phone. Once I opened this link and saw it was a contract, I let him know that this is not what I was needing. I only need a label to return equipment. He sent me another link. Again it was the same contract. He assured me it was so I could get the label and there would be no changes to my account. I hesitantly agreed to this because he assured me. He said the label would arrive in 2-3 business days.

I then accused him of tricking me into a contract. AGAIN, he promised that there would be no changes to my account and that I was not getting anything other than a label.

Well, he lied.

On 01/03/2024 I received a FedEx package with Xfinity equipment that I do not need or want. I need to return that along with the old set top box. I am very upset. Is this how Xfinity/Comcast does business now? I am a long time customer and this is the worst business practice I have ever seen. Tricking a customer is a horrible way to do business!

Someone needs to make this right. Can someone here please help me? Do I need a lawyer? Now I will need another UPS label for this new equipment I need to return. I am a senior with mobility issues and so UPS shipping is how I have to take care of this.

Attached is a photo of the new equipment I need to return and screenshots of my chat with the agent. I am so glad I took these screenshots so I have proof of what Comcast employees do their customers.

I am happy to report that Comcast has righted this wrong for me. I have received the shipping label and the equipment will be picked up by UPS soon at no cost to me! This is the customer service I am used to from Comcast. Thank you for the help!

The same thing happened to me today. I requested a very simple change in service and  they sent me a contract with a new plan. I refused to sign it and they did not help to make the simple change to my service. I told them what they tried to do was very wrong!
