account holder change

I need to change the account holder to one of my family members, while keeping the service at the same location. I might be staying abroad for much longer than I anticipated. How can I proceed with this?

I used the direct message as instructed, but Xfinity support says it's a violation of guidelines. How can I get help with my issue if I'm unable to send a direct message?

Hi, I was talking to a representative who was helping me authenticate my account and open a ticket to process the transfer of ownership. I mentioned that I prefer to receive the verification code via email, but I haven't received the code yet. I tried to direct message Xfinity support, and it says to submit a new post. I believe this process shouldn't take this long, and it has already been a month since the first post. Please help.

@stawee Good morning, due to the timeframe since our last communication we need to gather some basic information to get started and authenticate the account. Please send our team a direct message with your full name, full address, and the name of the person that the account is going to be transferred to. 

 

To send a "Direct Message" message:

  • Click "Sign In" if necessary
  • Click the "Direct Messaging" icon at the top of the page (looks like a text bubble)

  • Type "Xfinity Support" in the "To:" line and select "Xfinity Support" from the drop-down list which appears. The "Xfinity Support" graphic replaces the "To:" line
  • Type your message in the text area near the bottom of the window
  • Press Enter to send it
