I'm sorry to hear that, lets pull up your account and check how we can resolve this.

From Agent,
Thank you, are you chatting in about the 1617 address?
From You,

Lakewood Dr., Holladay, UT 84117
From Agent,
Thank you for the added details, allow me a few minutes to review your account.
From You,
Thanks
From Agent,
Youre welcome.
From You,
Also, I can not delete an old number(360269****) and ONLY have my number with my account. My number is 360747**** and should be the only number on the account.
From Agent,
Sure we will update the phone number on your account.
From Agent,
It says here that you have an existing payment arrangement until 11/05.
From You,
Yes. I know. That is why I am trying to talk to SOMEBODY.

I have been trying to talk to somebody about my account but nobody will answer the phone. My bill is currently overdue and payment is set for the 5th but I get paid on the 10th.
From Agent,
I understand, no worries I'm now checking if we can extend it until the 10th.
From Agent,
Kindly stay connected.
From You,
k. I have the letter stating that I did get Covid
From Agent,
I'm really sorry to hear that, I know its not okay to say I hope youre okay but I know you can get though this.
From Agent,
Still checking if we can extend your payment until the 10th.
From You,
It was not bad at all, just muscle aches. The hard part was sitting at home waiting for 14 days to pass without work and getting behind on bills
From Agent,
Yes, also for me that is the hardest part, getting behind on bills.
From You,
I was trying to set up the payment for the 10th and also ONLY what I was past due.
But, the system would not let me.
From Agent,
I submitted a request to extend your payment until the 10th but its being declined. It says here that we need to fulfill the existing payment arrangement before we can setup a new one.
From You,
So what can I do and who can I talk to? I literally got COVID19 and could not work.
From You,
Is there nothing that Xfinity has to offer for help?
From You,

From Agent,
I understand, I'm coordinating now with my Superior.
From You,
Suspended Disconnects or Late Fees for Xfinity Internet, Mobile, or Voice Customers: We created an assistance program that enabled our customers to continue using our services during the pandemic shutdown while keeping their bills low and ensuring they didnt accrue large outstanding balances. We want to keep them connected, so were offering customers in this program a variety of flexible and extended payment options.
Sky also worked with customers on flexible bill payments. Comcast Business customers can find more information here.
From You,
found that on the site too
From You,
and thanks
From Agent,
Thank you for staying connected, I explained to my superior the situation and he wants to speak with you, I can connected you over just let me know if youre ready.
From You,
Okay. What about the phone number being taken off also?
From Agent,
Yes I updated your phone number to 360747****
From You,
thanks
From Agent,
Youre welcome, please stay online as I connect you over.
From You,
I am here
From Agent,
I haven't heard from you for a bit. I'll be here for a few more minutes if you still need my help.
From Agent,
Please disregard my last message.
From You,
k
From Agent,
I'm sorry about that, please stay connected.
You are now transferred and chatting with Adrian A, a Xfinity Live Agent
From You,
thanks
From Agent,
Hi, this is Adrian, Superior in charge and your concern has been escalated to me about extension and the best date to settle is on the current set date of the account
From You,
What?
From Agent,
We need to fulfill the existing payment arrangement.
From You,
I got Covid19 on Oct 8th.
I have been trying to talk to somebody about my account but nobody will answer the phone. My bill is currently overdue and payment is set for the 5th but I get paid on the 10th.
From You,
Ya that is not going to happen
From You,
I do not get paid until the 10th. The system would not allow anything else. It would not even let me ONLY pay the past due.
It would ONLY set up all FULL payment.
From You,
?
From Agent,
We can secure the service once the past due balance is settled on the current set date of arrangement.
From You,
THAT IS WHAT I TRIED TO DO IN THE FIRST PLACE BUT THE SYSTEM WOULD ONLY ALLOW FULL PAYMENT ON THE 5TH!!!
From You,
Here is the thing. I get paid on the 10th and 25th of every month. I will not/can not make a payment prior. I tried to set this thing up but you system would not allow anything else.
I have been calling over and over again and this is the ONLY way to get a hold of ANYONE.
From You,
I GOT COVID19. I need just a little bit of assistance. 5 DAYS ONLY.
From Agent,
Apologies for the matter and we can only secure the service once the payment is posted on the account.
From You,
According to YOUR website, it says you will help.

From You,
Does not sound like you are!!!
From You,
And what about this...
From You,
Suspended Disconnects or Late Fees for Xfinity Internet, Mobile, or Voice Customers: We created an assistance program that enabled our customers to continue using our services during the pandemic shutdown while keeping their bills low and ensuring they didnt accrue large outstanding balances. We want to keep them connected, so were offering customers in this program a variety of flexible and extended payment options. Sky also worked with customers on flexible bill payments. Comcast Business customers can find more information here.
From Agent,
It's no longer offered as it was ended.
The best thing to do is to settle the past due balance
From You,
Obviously it is if its up on your website.
From You,
https://corporate.comcast.com/covid-19
From Agent,
We can only secure the service once the payment is posted on the account.
From You,
No place does that say that is not offered any longer.
From You,
I CAN NOT SECURE PAYMENT UNTIL PAYDAY THE 10TH. ARE YOU NOT READING ANYTHING TAHT I AM TYPING?!?!?!?!
From You,
You system would NOT allow it.
From You,
Your...
From Agent,
We can't no longer extend your payment and need to settle the past due balance untill the current set date of extension to avoid service interruption
From You,
how much is the past due? $100?
From You,
cause the payment is set up for $300+
From Agent,
That is for $315.17.
From You,
that is the total bill. How much is my past due?
From Agent,
Current bill is $542.96 and past due of it is $315.17
From You,
Thank you for ZERO help.
You did not help me in the least. Unlike what your website offers and misleads customers about Covid19.
From You,
Bill will not be paid as I do not get paid until the 10th and I will most likely be switching to Dish as this was my final straw with Xfinity.
THANK YOU FOR NOTHING.
From You,
I will be posting this conversation everywhere I possibly can.
From Agent,
Would there be anything else that we can assist for today?
From You,
Yes.
From You,
Real assistance since you did NOTHING.
From Agent,
The account needs to settle the past due balance on the current set date as to why we cant no longer extend your pay,ment
From You,
Not according to your website. It states that you will help if it is Covid19 related and you have done NOTHING to assist.
From You,
Here is your first review that I have posted: https://www.trustpilot.com/review/www.comcast.net?page=3S
User's recommendation: Switch to DISH.
