Ineligible for device payment plan despite 800 credit score, years of on-time payments

I am recently trying to get a new phone plan via xfinity with a new phone and upgrade my wife's phone. 

Unfortunately I keep receiving an error message that says I'm over the number of lines I can have on device payment plans, which is currently 0. I have a great credit score and have never missed xfinity payments so not sure what the deal is. I have already spoken to a representative by phone who couldn't' help me and someone at the xfinity store in person who didn't have many more answers. 

My only speculation is that they tried a soft credit check while my credit was frozen and now my account is "locked" in this state. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

user_jpyl4h Thank you for reaching out to us over our Xfinity Community Forums. If your credit is frozen Xfinity Mobile cannot evaluate eligibility for a Device Payment Plan (DPP) until the  freeze has been lifted. Once the status is confirmed as lifted, the Xfinity Mobile Team will have to remove the previous credit inquiry before a new credit check can be processed.

I just found this answer, explains what I thought might be the case. I am having the issue the original poster is/was having as well. My credit was frozen to prevent fraud. Now that it's unfrozen, how to I get a the previous inquiry to be removed by the Xfinity Mobile Team and a new credit check be processed? I've called and tried chats multiple times and the last time, yesterday, I thought this might have been the case and was trying to communicate to tell them to run another credit check but it seems like they weren't understanding. I asked them to escalate and they said I'd receive an email but no email. Is there something specific in Xfinity code/words that tells them what I need for this case? Your help is greatly appreciated!
