Being charged for a device I never activated.

Hello I am in need of some help here. In Dec of 2020 I ordered my daughter an Ipad online through xfinity. My device payment was just under 20.00 , protection plan was 12.00 and a 10.00 line fee per month were to be my charges. I never activated this device and went physically to xfinity store and told them my daughter was going to just use our home wifi for the ipad and I was told I would still be charged a 10.00 line fee each month which I was ok with. I have since paid for this device in full and have also recently discovered they have been charging me 45.00 a month for the past 2.5 years Plus the 10.00 line fee and 12.00 protection plan. I never activated this ipad or signed up for a data plan. Every bill has a total use of 0.00 gb for her ipad on every statement since the day I bought it. So how can they think this is ok? I never activated this device and have been paying 45.00 for what? Ive called multiple times and have either been disconnected or told a supervisor would get back to me which never happens so I went to xfinity on Monday and explained my situation and got absolutely nowhere with customer service. He told me the 45.00 was for data which I HAD to have but ten minutes later he asked if he should cancel the plan but then said he couldn't because the device has never been activated!!!!! Im at my witts end!! I want my money back... any advice is greatly appreciated...

@XfinityEmilyB I inquired with them about whether they would impose charges for inactive lines when I switched to Xfinity, and they assured me that there would be no charges. However, I ended up being billed for three inactive lines for a duration of two months. Over the course of 2 months, I requested on four separate occasions for them to deactivate these lines. They only complied with my request on the fourth attempt and informed me that they were unable to provide a refund for the unused lines.

What was the resolution with your issue. I have had a similar thing happen to me and I was told because the item were charged I could not get my money back past 3 months which I said was BS but I haven't heard back from them about refunding for the year worth of charges that I also never received a bill for and all of a sudden it turned up below on my xfinity wifi online account.
