Phone trade in not applied to bill

In January I bought a new iPhone 16 on the xfinity website. When ordering online I filled out the trade in information to reduce my monthly payments by $500 over 24 months. At the end of the online checkout process there was no trade in reflected on my new purchase agreement. Even though I had entered the IMEI number and provided all the correct information. I went in to multiple xfinity stores and they told me the website must have messed up my order. They told me to call customer support since I bought it online. I have been going round and round with xfinity call center personnel for over 6 months now. They just keep passing me off and nothing ever gets done. They always assure me every time I call that within 48 hours I will get a resolution. I have called once a week since January trying to trade in my old device and get the bill credits to no avail. My current device payment is $66.66 per month, but is supposed to be $45.83 per month after the trade in. Who else can actually help me get this resolved???

I appreciate you being an active member of our community by taking the time to share your experience

user_10beaf, and you're in the right place for support! I understand your original intention was to trade-in your old phone towards the iPhone 16, but if you still have the device on hand it should be elligible to trade-in to us at any time with the credit being applied to the acount within 15-business days of being recieved and passing inspection. 

Up to this point, have you attempted to file a new trade in request via Xfinity.com/mobile/learn/trade-ins?

When I filled out the info at the link above it says the trade is only eligible for credit of a new phone purchase. I already purchased a new phone and just want my bill credits. How do I go about getting the device back and trading it in for bill credits? Thanks.
