Transfer account to new person
I recently moved out of my apartment and want to transfer the xfinity internet account to my old roommate who is still living there. I saw this information in a different post suggesting how to get this done which recommended me first creating a post here before I could send a direct message:
"We can set up an Account Change Request ticket to transfer ownership. There is a form that you both would need to fill out and then upload through a secure link that will be emailed to you. You can fill out your portion then scan and send it to your roommate to fill out their portion since you are not near each other.
Please send us a direct message with your full name and complete service address to “Xfinity Support”. To do so, click on the direct messaging icon located at the top right of this forums page.
Here's the detailed steps to direct message us:
• Click "Sign In" if necessary
• Click the "Direct Message” icon (upper right corner of this page)
• Click the "New message" (pencil and paper) icon
• Type "Xfinity Support" in the to line and select "Xfinity Support" from the drop-down list
• Type your message in the text area near the bottom of the window
• Press Enter to send your message"
What do I need to do next in order to transfer the account? Thanks!
