Can't purchase new Xfinity plan - says I am not the primary account holder when i just made my account

Hi there, I attempted to purchase a new Xfinity internet plan last night. I am a new Xfinity customer and so was creating my account during checkout. While finalizing the purchase, the site crashed and I wasn't able to complete the purchase. I logged into the account that was created to attempt to complete the purchase, but now I get an error that says I don't have access to complete this action, and I'll need to contact my primary account holder to make a purchase. Is there a way to clear whatever permissions error is occurring here? I tried to talk to the chat bot but I got stuck in a loop where it kept prompting me to log in even though I alredy was logged in. Thanks.

user_gh5qzd Thanks for reaching out to us for assistance with placing your order. I would be happy to help in any way I can. To confirm, you made a login before placing an order for new services? That may be the issue as new accounts won't have logins created until after the order is placed. The online ordering system may think you are trying to log into an account that was recently active at your home, and causing errors. Happy to assist with getting this fixed for you. 

Can you send us a direct message with your full name, name of account holder (if different), and service address please?

To send a "Direct Message" to Xfinity Support:

Click "Sign In" if necessary

Click the "Direct Messaging" icon

Click the "Start new conversation" (pencil and paper) icon

In the "To:" line, type "Xfinity Support"

As you type, a drop-down list will appear. Select "Xfinity Support" from that list.

An "Xfinity Support" graphic will replace the "To:" line.

Type your message in the text area near the bottom of the window.

Press Enter to send it.

Gotcha, sending a message. I attempted to purchase while logged out a few times and it kept crashing while doing so, so then I tried to log in to complete the purchase.
