XFINITY FALSE ADVERTISING

I started my journey in October by signing up for the ACP program. I texted a live agent and assure me that I will receive that benefit. (AND HAVE SCREENSHOTS) I figured that I could get this internet because the price was fair with the discount and it said on the website $25 a month. (Like don’t advertise it at that amount when you guys have so many problems with the acp service.)  Forward to my billing cycle day and I see that it still hasn’t changed the price of my bill. I decide to call xfinity and they tell me the same thing. (That it was not going through). They transfer me around until I finally reach the ACP department and they tell me that the person that i first talked to  never initially did the acp program correct and that I have to resubmit. No problem. 24-48 hours pass and nothing. I decide to go in store to find out what could be wrong and bring my screenshots of my acceptance hoping they can do something for me. He said in store that I have to call the ACP them selves, check out my application and if everything was correct. And then XFINITY would issue a credit for what has happened already but that they can’t do it in store and i would have to call billing. So I did that. I called the acp and they told me everything was good on their end and then I decide to call Xfinity. They once again tell me on the phone everything is now good and that they will include in the billing notes to give me a credit since it was Xfinitys fault whatever the problem was. I asked for a confirmation and they said the tech team was working on it and would call in a few hours to let me know of success. I never got a phone call. I forgot about it and thought it had been fixed until today. I decide to call them again and they put me through the same process I have already completed multiple times letting me know that I have to wait 24-48 hours for it to kick in on my bill . I explain to the people that I am frustrated and have been dealing with this for multiple months now and it never gets resolved. They transferred me a couple times eventually to acp where the woman on the phone promised to call back at 230. She never called. At 240 I decided to call Xfinity again to see what was the problem. The person that I was eventually transferred to walked away from the conversation and never responded or hung up the phone!!! (Like come on) I was put through to a total of 7 people and they all kept telling me the same thing. They kept telling me that it’s not Xfinity fault they cannot help me and that they will not honor what their previous employees said as to credit my account. (The credit was why I stayed with Xfinity , even though I was already extremely frustrated with the poor customer service.) On my last call i was treated in a less than professional matter. I was told  that what I said was not true and that they would not  be helping me in this matter because it was a problem on the ACPs end even thought multiple employers told us otherwise. I asked to speak to a supervisor, and have never dealt with someone as rude as him.I personally record everything and take screenshots just in case something like this happens and when I told him this he told me I can’t do that and it’s illegal. Even though it isn’t. I asked if he could review my screenshots and he said no. I asked him if I could send my information and receipts to a Xfinity email that would Xfinity also be able to listen to my call logs and see my screenshots, and realize that what the employees were telling me was not true. He eventually just hung up on me after I asked for the email to send this information that I had to. As a customer I am extremely bothered by this situation I want to leave Xfinity even though I really enjoy the service. But I am forced to come here and try to get some type of response from anyone that may understand or even be willing to see the messages and things Xfinity employees told me that weren’t true. I feel hopeless and this is the last thing I can do instead of going into the store and complaining once again. I signed up for the acp again and hopefully will hear something in the next 24-48 hours but if I don’t and Xfinity refuses to help me or reimburse me for stuff that I did not agree to pay I will leave the service.

@user_qaisjl This is not the experience we want any customer to have to deal with especially when you're having ACP issues. My team is only able to check if the ACP credit was applied to your account, but that is all we can do. You would need to reach out to the ACP department as they handle all those inquiries. I can understand from your situation, where I would be frustrated as well. I am positive they will get this resolved as you mentioned you had to sign up again. I would also recommend you to use this link https://support.xfinity.com/svp-contact-form to provide any more feedback on your experience, as there is always opportunities for us to improve.

im sorry shawn. Xfinity employees said that they would reimburse me 30$ for my first bill credit and still did not. Someone in store told me, as well as people on the phone. Not to mention that I felt like I was not handled as a priority and disrespected on the phone.  I understand that acp issues bill credits but  Xfinity employees assured me they would. Even if they didn’t know the truth they shouldn’t say stuff like that  so that the customer thinks differently when like I said I never agreed to pay. And Xfinity should honor what the employee said.

@user_qaisjl I would recommend to reach back out to us once the ACP credit has been applied to your account. That way we can apply the appropriate credits on your account. If the ACP team does reimburse you for the $30, then you wouldn't need to reach back out. Sound like a plan?

@user_qaisjl I know how frustrating this is because it's happening to a lot of customers.  What you need to know, though, is that the information you gave to the National Verifier must match exactly! the information that Comcast has for you.  If you signed up to Comcast as "Bob", but the National Verifier as "Robert", the information doesn't match.  This is also true of street names: "St." is not the same as "Street", etc.  You need to go back and check the information between the two to see if there are any differences.  Once the information is corrected you should see the discount applied.

A wonderful day! Thank you for choosing Xfinity! This is 'Muskan', your Xfinity Ambassador for today.

trying to find affordable access to tv chanels without any sports
no sports senior discounts?

Sure I can help you to get affordable plan

I found one that is deceptively priced at $20 that turns out to be almost $60

Please allow me a moment I am checking it for you

ok

Thank you

I can help you to get 40+ channels in just $20

I found that but it is not true.

It is true

You add fees and fees and taxes and it is almost $60

No it will not be $60

let me check and calculate it for you

give me total price

Sure

tax included

Sure

I already have ACP internet from internet essentials

Yes got it

fixed income

I am working on it

As I checked now tv can't be added on the plan

It can be added with the high speed package

didnt ask that

I have 300MB what is high speed?

You have 100mbps plan

Ok I thought was up to 300 with ACP plus the added upgrade

Still need that price

Just ran speed test got less than 12MB

You have internet essential essential plus in which you get 100mbps plan

Ok so back to the TV options

100 mb plenty fast with single user

and the $20 plan for 40+ channels for higher speed paln
plan

give me the total

it will be $60

So I was right. Your "$20" plan is three times what you advertise
you really do not have a $20 plan is that correct?

You can get $20 plan wich 200mbps plan

So what is my total cost with taxes

It will be $60.81

Sorry, the chat agent has been disconnected. Please wait while we try to reconnect you.

[Edited: “Language”/“Inflammatory”]. You offer a $20 plan that cost $60 That is NOT a $20 plan. It seems this is false advertising
