Cannot begin new service with Xfinity (as an ex-customer)
I ended my internet service with xfinity three months ago after moving out of an apartment (I'm a student), and I'm moving into a new apartment soon. When I try to shop for new service from my old account (or really, do anything with my old account), I am greeted with the message "Looks like you can't make changes to this plan. Contact the account owner for details." I am the account owner.
I have also tried making a new account, but because my old information is still in the system, I receive the message "This information doesn't match our records. Try again or contact us and one of our agents will be happy to help you" whenever inputting my phone number or social.
How can I start a new internet service with xfinity? At this point, I cannot use xfinity due to this issue.

For any users dealing with this issue in the future, it was resolved by directly doing a live chat with xfinity support. Per @XfinityJamesC, "To send a Private Message, please click on the chat icon in the top-right corner of the screen, next to the bell icon, and then type or select "Xfinity Support" to initiate a live chat."

Hello @therealcmeng, thank you for taking the time to reach out to us. I completely understand how frustrating this issue is! It would seem there might be multiple users on your previous account. Thankfully, we have this awesome link
https://comca.st/3ktD650 that helps uncover the primary username of that account.
After uncovering the primary username, we may need to use this link
https://comca.st/3ri5wk0
to reset the password.
