surfaced semanticallyISP System Creates Duplicate Account During Plan Change Then Charges for Phantom Devices
Comcast created an unsolicited duplicate account when a customer changed plans, cancelled the original 7-year account, and began charging for devices that were never received. The duplicate account generated a $320 balance and prompted collection calls for a device the customer never had. Customers modifying existing plans have no protection against ISP systems incorrectly creating new accounts instead.
Comcast address transfer loses internet service for work-from-home user

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.
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.
ISP 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.
