Xfinity Customer Service Reps Refuse to Help Downgrade Plans Customers Can Change Themselves
Xfinity representatives decline to assist customers in reducing their plans, even when the same change is easily available through self-service online.

Confirmed zero-balance medical bill resurfaces and goes to collections

Rigid Appliance Return Windows Penalize Customers Unable to Inspect at Delivery

Secured credit cards held in secured status for years without graduation criteria
USAA customers who manage secured credit cards responsibly for five or more years receive no communication about graduation criteria, review timelines, or account status decisions.
