Telecom Provider Confirms Refund But Fails to Deposit Funds After Cancellation

After cancelling Comcast service, a customer with a confirmed credit balance receives assurance that a refund was issued but finds no deposit in their bank account. The gap between confirmed issuance and actual receipt points to a broken billing reconciliation process. Affected customers have no self-service path to track or escalate the refund status.

Xfinity Service Cancellation Requires Multiple Calls With False Confirmations and Missing Refunds
