Unable to add payment method

I have been trying unsuccessfully to add a payment method to my online account for over a week now - mobile app and web browser (tried multiple browsers, cleared cache/cookies). I keep getting the same error message: 


You can't add a new payment method yet

We need to verify your contact information to keep your account secure. Make sure to add your phone number and email address if you haven't already.

I have verified both my email and mobile number, have received multiple messages from Comcast/xfinity to both contact methods. Multiple customer service reps have told me that my information shows "verified" in the system and they are willing to take payment over the phone, however I am not comfortable providing credit card or banking information over the phone.

Why is this so hard?

Could I get assistance on this issue as well? I have tried the same things and cannot change my payment method, even though I have verified all of my personal information.
