Xfinity charging me for ghost data usage

I never use my phone for Data, and I barely use it at all.  The hotspot is turned off and every app that might be able to use data in the background has the ability turned off on my phone.  Yet every month Xfinity claims it is a good charge and refuses to remove the extra charges. I am very close to going with another company but wanted to ask here and see if anyone else has had this problem?

If so your usage is in our Xfinity App. I have a link that goes into more details about how to check your home usage https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/data-usage-usage-history.

@XfinityKei​ I have tried three times to get this straightened out, and the only answer I get is that is is a good charge.  I asked a few times what was causing this charge and all the operator wanted to do was transfer me to someone lese.  By that time I was upset because I felt like I was getting no where and the operator, or agent, was not listening to what I was trying to tell her.  I have now been forced to either go to unlimited Data or change cell companies.  I changed to unlimited, but I am still thinking of trying someone else.  I have just discovered Esim cards and my phone is capable of running both a physical sim card and an esim at the same time.  I even found a 7 day free company for a trial that can use an esim.  Still deciding what to do.
