Returning customer can't reactivate services, it says I'm not the account owner.

I'm looking to get internet service after a few years due to being in a new location. I am not able to create a new account, and I am not able to make any changes to this account or reactivate it, as it keeps telling me that I am not the account owner. I cannot find an answer to this issue online, and the bot is absolutely no help.

Hello there @brekke! Thank you for taking the time to reach out to us today. We appreciate you for rejoining the Comcast Family. :) If you didn't remain active with the Xfinity username, after 90 days it does deactivate. Since you are looking to start services at a new location, you will have to sign up for services at the location first, and then create a new ID attached to that account.

@XfinityKorie I just ordered a new plan for the new location, but I'm unable to create a new ID as it isn't recognizing any of the addresses I'm providing.

Oh dang! The address you enter does have to match exactly as it is listed in our system, which sometimes can be a little different. I'd be happy to get the account pulled up and see what is going on. Can you send me a PM with your name and address? 

 

To send a PM: 

• Click "Sign In" if necessary

• Click the "Direct Messaging" icon or https://comca.st/3iVtu1B

• Click the "New message" (pencil and paper) icon

• The "To:" line prompts you to "Type the name of a person", but don't do that.

Instead, type "Xfinity Support" there. As you are typing a drop-down list appears.

• Select "Xfinity Support" from the list. An "Xfinity Support" graphic replaces the "To:" line.

• Type your message in the text area near the bottom of the window

• Press Enter or tap the > icon to send it any of those platforms will be able to assist. 

I no longer work for Comcast.

@XfinityKorie I finally got it to work, not sure why it suddenly decided to accept the address, but it worked. It's currently pending activation, which I will not be able to do until the 13th. Hopefully that won't cancel my order?

I'm having the same issue. Ended service in June when I moved, now moved into a new location and can't make any changes (start new service). I don't have a direct message icon and the virtual assistant just goes in circles with no solution.
