Account Owner

I have tried several times to correct the owner of my Xfinity account. My sister opened the account in 2024, but when I moved here in 2025 we went together to the Comcast/xFinity store and filled out paperwork to change ownership from her name to my name. A few months later when we realized that had not happened I called Xfinity and explained the situation and was assured it would be fixed. Recently I again realized that it STILL has not been corrected. I chatted with an agent and was assured yet again that the issue would be resolved, but just got a text saying that it could not be resolved and the ticket was closed. This is beyond frustrating. Now the account has a mash up of my and my sister’s information, and she is unable to connect to her own account because you still have her listed as owner of MY account. I am not sure where else to turn to get this resolved as we’ve done in person, phone calls and chat and nothing works. My next step will be to file a complaint with the BBB if this issue doesn’t get fixed.

Hello, @user_bao30q thank you for reaching out over Xfinity Forums. I appreciate the detailed information as it's really helpful to know what had been done previously, and completely understand how this is a frustration experience not only for you but for your sister if still linked to the account. I did have a quick question when you have time to answer:

- Is it just your sisters contact information still associated with the account (phone/email), or is the account still reflecting in her name when logging into the account?

It has both of our names - her as “owner” and me as “manager”. When I log in I only see my information, and when she logs in it has her name as owner and she’s unable to update anything, nor am I. We both already submitted the paperwork to fix this, along with copies of our drivers licenses. I’ve been paying the bills since I moved here, and she lives in a different house and would like to be able to access her own account, and I would like to be able to make changes to my account whenever I need to, since I am the actual owner.

@user_bao30q I appreciate the clarification. From experience, I've seen at times that when the ownership change is done the primary and manager information will need to be updated on the customer side as the team won't have access to change that: https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/primary-and-secondary-accounts

I'd definitely like to investigate further, as when paperwork/ID info is submitted those are typically tied to a ticket and can see if I have access to that. I'll need to gather some information we don't want here in our public conversation. 

Could you please send our team a direct message with your full name and full address?

Can you please send a link to where I can find that? I’m logged into my account but I don’t see anywhere that says “direct message chat”. Or an icon for that. Thanks.

update - I found the chat icon but not the new message (pencil and paper) icon.

@user_bao30q you may need to uncheck "Opt out of Direct Messaging" to get the direct messaging option to work correctly. Please let me know if that was helpful, I'll watch for your reply.

@XfinityJustinC​ I am only able to find the regular chat area, and I’ve already gone through that with no luck. When I pull up the chat on my account, the recent chat is there, so you should be able to see it. As far as all of the documents we submitted, that was in May of 2025 - we went to the store and the customer service representative there took the paperwork and made copies of our drivers licenses and said he would submit everything so I have no idea what happened to that.
