Phone unlock

My son in law is trying to get my iPhone unlocked from his xfinity account. The phone is fully paid off, but xfinity is refusing to u lock it.  Why is this happening?

@user_sxk77y How long ago was it paid off? Are there any other devices on the mobile account that are still being paid for? Or outstanding balances owed? I'm sure there is a reason for this if they are refusing to unlock it. They should be stating the reason.

@DreamSayerZ​ This is the usual gaslighting reply Xfinity users are accustomed to. Why would a paid phone have anything to do with another phone on the account still being paid for? Next you will suggest the assistant which loops you around and around. Then call Mobile CS which after investigating will inform of process which an unlock code will be sent within 24 hours. Then that conversation takes place over and over every 24 hours. Monday I'm filing a police report that my phone has been stolen by Comcast. Filing a report with the state attorney general for fraud. Filing a report with state consumer protection. Filing complaint with FCC. filing a complaint with Fed consumer protection. Producing content on at least seven social media platforms identifying Comcast as criminals. This is after only two 24 hour periods. By Monday I will really be [EDIT: Language]. Lets go to to war. I may never get my phone unlocked but I will hit this giant as hard as I can.
