Trying To Update Legal Name Under Xfinity Account

The AI chatbot is completely useless, both on the chatbot online and over the phone. It circularly loops me back around and around saying it can help me update my legal name while asking about internet services issues over and over again without referring me to a single useful service. I need a real person to help me just look at my updated I.D. and then immediately verify my new name for billing purposes. It's incredibly cheap of Xfinity to shill out A.I chatbots instead of having actual customer service
