Did not receive trade in credit

Not exactly sure who else to contact, I just filed with BBB today.
 I got offered a trade in for my Iphone 12 Pro Max that was paid off. It was a little more then I could sell it for, so I decided to do it. I printed off the label provided by Xfinity Mobile, and sent the phone in right away so would get my credit towards the new device they was sending me.
   That should have been the end of it. But instead I was billed full payments for the new device and no credit giving. I contacted xfinity, they told me to contact Assurant I contacted Assurant, they tell me its on Xfinity to fix, and back and forth I go for weeks. And this full device payment is on my current bill and the next again. 
 Xfinity site shows I never even sent my trade in yet, but if click on label on there site, and check the tracking it clearly shows it was delivered Sep 29th. So they have it. But keep giving me the run around.
 I've included pictures of the label they provided, and of the USPS tracking update.

Hello @user_5jvykp Thanks for posting and letting us know about your experience. Sounds like it has taken a long time, but I'm sure it will be taken care of. We have access to residential services and accounts here on the forums, but can get you in touch with an Xfinity Mobile rep so you can have the trade-in confirmed successfully. For security with Mobile accounts and devices, please call or text 1 (888) 936-4968 to reach our secure Xfinity Mobile team. If calling in has not resolved the issue and you prefer to try a different platform, we also have Live Chat at xfinity.com/xfinityassistant/?channel=xMobile, where an Xfinity Mobile expert is available 24/7. Use that instead of calling to help apply the trade-in asap!

I am in the same boat.  I have texted that number and also used the Xfinity assistant and it is NOT taking care of the situation but instead is more of a run around.  I have been told to go to the local store and find out why they never sent my phone in.  This is not my responsibility.  I have been told to call Assurant.  It is an automated system and it tells me my phone number has no claim and it disconnects me.

I have spent more than 20 hours of my time trying to resolve this.  The first contact was August 10 when I was told I would receive $38 per month.  (I screenshotted my chats).  On August 22, I had another chat where I was told $25 per month.

Is this going to be resolved ASAP as you say?  This has been 3.5 months.  I am owed $25 for Aug, Sept, Oct, and Nov.

I have the same issue.  I sent it in and see the USPS has picked up the phone, but no updates.  I halve tried to call, open multiple tickets and I get no where.  This is insane.

I received my credit the first month, nothing after. I have the screen shot that they received the phone, it was approved, and the dollar amount that was supposed to be the credit. Stop offering trade ins if you aren't going to honor the [Edited: "Language"] thing.

Sigh... it's happening to me too.. Traded in my older iPhone toward a 15 PRO MAX 1TB, and Guess what? Now Going on my FOURTH month of FULL payment instead of getting a credit toward it. This is no different than THEFT.  Call/chats have been placed 3 times already, CONFIRMING everything that needs to be confirmed (trade WAS indeed accepted) so we'll now see what January holds... Was told the 1st time that it should be corrected by November.. Then December.. Now it's January we're waiting for...

Same here. My device has been received over two months ago, accepted and graded. I even received an email saying I would receive the $830 credit. I’ve called and chatted nine times and they keep telling me to wait.

I understand you have reached out in chat a few times, have you tried calling into the Xfinity Mobile team directly at 1-888-936-4968 to see if they have an estimated date for it to be resolved and applied to your account?

I also was baited in by this scam. Traded in paid off IPhone 13 Pro Max for zflip5.
I ended up porting the phone number out but still had the phone active on my account for another phone number.

Xfinity claims the trade in was credited to that phone number, not the phone. so because of that, Im stuck paying for the phone and they also get to keep the trade in.

Please, if you're thinking of trading in any device to xfinity. DO NOT!!!
Save yourself the hassle. I'd even say roll the dice and risk selling your device on craigslist instead. at least then youll actually get paid for the device.

I'm sorry to hear about your situation, @user_0cbe36. Not the experience we would like you to have. To make sure we understand correctly. You tried to port your phone number from a different provider, but instead, a new number was added to the account. Is this what happened? What trade-in promotion did you select? Would you mind providing us with additional details on it?

Same issue here. I keep getting the runaround with Xfinity Mobile support. They keep wanting me to contact assurant but then assurant says they only handle claims. I don't think I'll ever get this credit and now they have my 12 pro.

Update on my previous comment: I made a report to the FCC and was contacted by Xfinity less than 24 hours later. She claimed this is a frequent problem between assurant who receives the trade in phones and Xfinity. She told me she would have the credit applied and I will receive a credit on my February bill for all the months I’ve paid since. I received an email finally saying my phone had accepted and another with the credit info. If for some reason is isn’t applied to my next bill, I’ll update again. [Edited: "Solicitation"].

I’m dealing with this same thing. I’m so mad and frustrated. Months of run around. Then I was told they closed the ticket because of no activity. So they didn’t ever attempt to find out why I haven’t received my credit and then closed the ticket. Another ticket has been opened and now I’ll probably get another 4 months of the run around. How do you contact the FCC? I want to do this. And the BBB.

Having this same issue. I filed a FCC complaint [Edited: "Solicitation"]

and also emailed [Edited: "Personal Information]

There's also another complaint webpage https://support.xfinity.com/svp-contact-form

I did receive an email response and replied back with screenshots of chats and confirmation of the trade in. Hope it works for y'all. Customer support is no help at all.
