Sold house, cannot access modem to return, account already cancelled, how to contact Xfinity?

I have remotely sold my parents hose after they passed.  I was unable to have anyone retrieve the modem from the residence prior to the sale and now cannot return it.  I would like to contact Xfinity to resolve this so I do not get late equipment return fees.  Unable to find a reasonable contact method to resolve this issue.

I finally got to speak to a real person.... just faked wanting "new service", IMMEDIATELY got a helpful associate.  Going to just pay the $150 fee for the old obsolete modem I cannot return to get as far away from Xfinity as I can.  I can honestly say this is probably THE worst company for customer service I have dealt with... and that is saying a lot!

user_p4tt3b I'm sorry to hear that you had trouble with the equipment return process: https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/returning-your-equipment since you were not at the location when the house sold. I wish we could have made that process smoother for you. If your needs change in the future, we'd love to welcome you back to the Xfinity family and turn your experience into a more positive one. I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day :).
