DPP issue

I tried to upgrade my phone though the Elite Eligibility program. Per the wording on the DPP of I take my phone to a store and trade it in, it’ll reset the amount available. I went to a store and was refused to upgrade and basically told that I was stupid and didn’t know what I was talking about.

@user_kuz31o Thanks for adding a post to the community. If you’ve already consented to a credit check, based on your payment history with Xfinity, over time, you may qualify for more DPP-eligible lines and a higher total dollar limit. Check out more details on device payment plans here https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/eligibility-faq.

You didn’t answer my question….and again I’m not that stupid. I understand how the DPP works.

Yes, the Elite Upgrade for customers on a Device Payment Plan (DPP) resets the DPP limit by wiping the remaining balance on the current device when they trade it in for a new one.  But you also may need to do a credit check to have your limit increased. So the best way to do that process of the credit check is to reach out to the Xfinity mobile agent via https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/get-help-from-xfinity-assistant Or even with the store agent

The phone that was looking to upgrade to was less than what my max limit is on the DPP. The agent at the store tried to tell me that it wasn’t and I couldn’t upgrade.
