How do you cancel an accidental on demand purchase by a 5 year old?

My daughter had the remote when i was asleep and instead of watching youtube i guess she clicked on an on demand movie. I didnt notice until i woke up and saw the message on my phone.

My daughter ... clicked on an on demand movie. ...

In addition to getting the billing corrected, consider setting up a Purchase Pin on each of your cable boxes/DVRs and in the Stream app and web portal to prevent this from happening in the future. See https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/parental-controls-non-x1 and/or https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/x1-parental-controls-turn-puchase-protection-on-off and/or https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/x1-manage-tv-settings-online.

Greetings, @user_627432! Thanks so much for taking a moment out of your busy day to leave a post on our community forum. I'm sorry to hear your daughter ordered an On Demand movie by mistake, but you have definitely come to the right place for assistance. As long as the title was never viewed, we can get it removed from your account records right away.

If you could send our team a private message with your full name, the name listed on the account (if different), and the service address associated with your account, I'd be more than happy to look into this for you.

To send a Private Message, please click on the chat icon in the top-right corner of the screen, next to the bell icon, and then type or select "Xfinity Support" to initiate a live session.

Hello! The same thing happened in our family yesterday. I called right away and was told it wasn't showing up in the system to cancel and that I needed to wait 12 hours. It's been over 12 hours now. I did find this thread and have set a purchase pin. I am really hoping I don't have to pay for something we didn't mean to purchase! Thanks for your help.
