Can't Use Old Account and Can't Create a New One

I had Xfinity several years ago, but cancelled for the past couple years. I've moved to a new address and now need to move service to my new account. When I try to use my existing account I get an error saying:

"Looks like you can't make changes to this plan.
Please contact the account owner to continue."

When I try to create a new account, I put in my phone number and it sends me the verification code. But when I enter the code, it tells me it's incorrect and I need to contact support. So I can't use my old account to move to a new address and I can't create a new one. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello @user_c9e1ac and thanks for reaching out. I know how important it is to set up service. I would like to help out. When trying to set up the new account, are you selecting "Move to a New Address" or I'm New to Xfinity?"

@XfinityMikeB What page are these options on? I always end up clicking: Don't have an Xfinity ID? Create one

Hey there, @user_dbe2c9! Thanks for bringing your mutual concerns to our attention. We definitely want you to be able to access your account(s) as necessary, so I'll do whatever I can to help :) Here's some really great information regarding How to Link, Unlink, and Switch Between Multiple Xfinity Accounts. Does following those instructions help you gain access to the appropriate account(s)?
