Made mistake setting up new service

I'm now divorced, and I needed to set up new service at my new address while transferring the existing service to my ex. Last night I began setting up new service, but may have made a mistake when it asked me to sign in under my Xfinity ID. I ended up completing all the steps until I got to the TOS agreement, but then I got worried because I saw it was going to associate the new service with my existing ID, and I was afraid this might terminate the existing service as if I were moving the whole household. So I stopped there and closed the browser tab. But then the email came in to tell me there was a second account now associated with my ID, and that I'd have the choice of which one to look at when I logged in. Great, I thought, they seem to have done this right. So I logged back hoping to complete the new service set up, in but saw no new account.

So now I don't know how to proceed. Is there an "orphan" account associated with my new address, that will cause problems when I go back in to set up the service? Or did it actually delete the new account when I failed to complete the signup?

And, is this the correct procedure anyway? I want to keep the existing service under my name until my ex is ready to start paying for it herself. Can I just transfer it to her online later?

Chillian Thanks for reaching out! You should be able to set up another location with Xfinity services while maintaining the original account under the same Xfinity user ID. Then, once everything is settled, submit a change of ownership request to transfer that original account to your ex-wife. We can take a look to see where everything stands for you currently. Please send us a direct message.
