Comcast enrolls customers in unwanted mobile service without consent
Comcast salespeople sign customers up for Xfinity Mobile without explicit consent, then limit refunds to only recent payments despite acknowledging the error. Customers who never use the service face persistent small charges that are difficult to fully recover. This predatory upsell practice exploits customers who do not closely monitor their bills.

Similar Problems
surfaced semanticallyISP Billing Fraud and Circular Support Leave Customers Doubly Charged
Customers report being enrolled in duplicate service contracts by ISP agents and billed for two accounts at the same address, with neither phone nor in-store support taking ownership to resolve it. Support channels actively redirect customers to each other, creating an unresolvable loop. The combination of deceptive sales practices and intentionally fragmented support makes self-resolution nearly impossible.
ISP Charging Full Billing Period and Refusing Refund on Early Cancellation
Internet service providers charge customers for full billing cycles even when service is cancelled within days, and refuse pro-rated refunds despite poor connection quality being the reason for cancellation. Customers who cancel due to service failures have no leverage to recover payment for unused service. Upselling to more expensive plans as the solution to connection failures compounds the initial harm.
Address-Move Requests Create Duplicate Telecom Accounts and Unrefunded Charges
A customer relocating found that a duplicate internet account was created at their old address instead of transferring service to their new one, resulting in double billing and no service at the new location. Repeated promises of a refund across phone, chat, and corporate channels went unfulfilled, leaving the customer out of pocket with no resolution path.
Xfinity Charged After Cancellation Despite Assurances
Xfinity charged after explicit cancellation despite two reps confirming no charge. Ten different reps gave conflicting answers over months.
Comcast Enrolls Customers in Autopay and Bills for Cancelled Services
Xfinity customers who explicitly cancel service are enrolled in autopay without consent and continue to receive bills for months afterward. Support agents via chat are unresponsive for extended periods, and phone queues stretch to hours. The pattern suggests deliberate friction to prevent clean account closure.
