ISP Overbills Closed Accounts and Refuses to Delete Stored Payment Data

Telecom providers like Comcast charge unapproved payment methods, overbill accounts, and then withhold refunds and refuse to delete stored credit card data after service cancellation. The combination of billing errors and data retention violations exposes consumers to ongoing financial risk. No self-service mechanism exists to enforce data deletion or dispute unauthorized charges.
