Xfinity asking me to return equipment I don’t have

Hello, I recently cancelled an old account and opened a new one. The cancelled one had no equipment on it, and I don’t see anything when I click the email link stating to return equipment, however now they have started calling me. 

How can I resolve this? I don’t have any equipment. The chat assistant already confirmed that, but I’m still being contacted

Hello, @user_9mrkeq thank you for reaching out over Xfinity Forums. I completely understand the concern with receiving a notification to return equipment, and not having anything to return. From experience, the most common occurrence I've found when working with customers reporting similar instances is the Flex/Xumo streaming box. 

- Did you ever happen to get a streaming box sent out (it would be the photo of the Arris Xi6 on this document: https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/x1-hub-vs-companion-box)?

Yep I do think I got a streaming box, but I never used it, and the chat rep even told me I don’t need to return it. I honesty don’t know if I even still have it or if it’s lost

@user_9mrkeq I appreciate the confirmation that you did get a streaming box at one point, and if you were told you didn't need to return it in a chat when being sent I completely understand that not being on your radar as something that may cause issues if not returned. 

I can help open a ticket for lost equipment to help get this resolved for you. Since I'll need to gather some information that we don't want here in our public conversation. 

Could you please send our team a direct message with your full name and full address?
