"You no longer have Xfinity service" despite no cancelation request and always paying bill.

Recently, my roommate got an Xfinity modem for our shared apartment. I've had my own for a long time but since yesterday night, my services have been discontented despite me paying my bill on time for my entirety of having Xfinity internet.

I got two emails prior stating "We received your cancelation request". It freaked me out a bit because I didn't want to be in the position I am in now with everything shut down and turned off. But when I asked about it, I was told there was no request on my account and to ignore the email. Now only a short time later my services have been completely disconnected. I'm sure you could understand me being a little confused and frustrated.

As for the Xfinity app as well, every time I open the app, it tells me I need to make a payment to then sign up again. I made my payment pre-paid this month because of that thinking it would solve it, but it didn't. And I don't want to be paying my bill each month for services I don't have.

I'm wondering if there's a solution to fixing this and if my roommate implementing her own wifi modem at the same address is possibly what caused this issue. We share the same address and our bedrooms are practically right next to each other. I don't want to disconnect her services in order to get my own back, but I'm not sure what to do, thank you.

I think the issue could be having two accounts at the same address. If she just started hers, they may treat it as if you had moved out and she moved in. You will need to contact Comcast more directly. This is mainly a user-to-user forum, with some Comcast oversight. You will need to contact them for anything personal.

Yeahhh, I figured that's what happened. Would going to Xfinity's Direct messaging help with that? That's what I saw to do in other posts, but I'm not sure with this situation. Thank you for telling me btw, this has been a mess trying to sort out since yesterday.

Concern moved here to the Customer Service help section for greater exposure to Comcast corporate employees (The Digital Care Team) for assistance.

Did you just make a new account at the new address or did you move your account from the old address to the new address? Did you cancel your account at the old address?
