Xfinity complaints submitted through Ajust
Being a loyal Xfinity Mobile customer for over 40 years, I was shocked to see my bill increase by more than 38% in two years. As a senior, I expected some kind of loyalty or senior discount, but all discounts had disappeared and federal programs didn’t apply to me. I ended up filing a complaint because the pricing felt unfair and dismissive of long-term customers. - Lee
I was double charged for one month of Xfinity Mobile service and couldn’t get a clear resolution. My bank said they could only log it as a fraudulent charge, while Xfinity Mobile insisted they only saw one payment and couldn’t help. I submitted a complaint because I felt stuck between both sides with no accountability or fix in sight. - Melissa
How other consumers Xfinity complaints got resolved
9-Month Billing Issue → Resolved by Executive Team:
A customer’s device payments weren’t processing for months. After filing a BBB complaint, Comcast’s executive team investigated, corrected the billing system, issued 12 months of bill credits and provided a direct contact.
Repeated Outages → FCC Escalation Fixed It Fast:
A customer faced weeks of daily outages despite multiple tech visits. She filed an FCC complaint, and within days executive relations contacted her, senior tech + engineer repaired a faulty node and she received 2 months free service.
Misquoted Pricing → Retention Honored Original Deal:
A customer was promised $150/month but billed $200. Retention reviewed call notes, honored the original pricing, credited the difference and added 3 months of HBO.
1. Ask for Higher-Tier Support
Say:
- “Please transfer me to Tier 2/Tier 3 technical support.”
