Wrong name on account

Name is still wrong on account
I've submitted the transfer of ownership request with all the correct documents
Agents in Xfinity Assistant chat said it would be done already (it's not)
I think I've been through ~9 agents...help!

Hey there, @Joelie5141. Thank you for reaching out for assistance and allowing us the opportunity to help get your name updated after your recent account ownership transfer. When customers transfer services from one owner to a new one, there are two processes where the name needs to be updated. One is from our side with the legal name change on the account and taking over the responsibility of the account. The other is the customer facing option through the Xfinity ID. The section towards the bottom of this article outlines how to update the display name with your Xfinity ID. Where are you still seeing the name of the old owner?

We can check the status of the account change request you submitted previously to see if it has gone into effect or if something caused a hiccup. If you could please send me a DM with your first and last name along with your full-service address, we can get started.

 

To send a "Direct Message" to Xfinity Support:
Click "Sign In" if necessary
Click the "Direct Messaging" icon or https://comca.st/3EqVMu7
Click the "New message" (pencil and paper) icon
The "To:" line prompts you to "Type the name of a person". Instead, type "Xfinity Support" there
 - As you are typing a drop-down list appears. Select "Xfinity Support" from that list
 - An "Xfinity Support" graphic replaces the "To:" line
Type your message in the text area near the bottom of the window
Press Enter to send it
See https://comca.st/3KQF8q9 for an example.
