ISP cancellation-fee waiver promises do not survive to billing/credit
A customer cancelled Comcast/Xfinity internet because service was not available at their new address and was told no cancellation fee would apply, yet the fee later appeared as a collections entry on their credit report.

ISP continues billing after account cancellation with no resolution
Comcast continued billing a customer months after their account was cancelled and confirmed closed, with no activity on the account. Multiple support calls produced promises to resolve but no action.
