Cannot get my service disconnected, will not connect me to someone to complain about absolutely terrible service

I turned in my business modem/router to an Xfinity Service Center on 2/10/23. They gave me a small register receipt at that time. They told me I could not cancel Business service at an Xfinity center, I needed to call 1-800-391-3000 to do that. I did that on 2/10/23 at 4:33pm (per cell phone records.)  I spoke to someone for 10 minutes and he assured me we were all set. I did not get a case number, did not think I needed it.  Time passed, I thought we were all set. I misplaced my equipment receipt.

I got an email about my bill being past due on March 26th. On April 10 I called the service center and explained the saga thus far. I was told that they had not received a mythical disconnect form from me, thus I was still being billed. I said, "what disconnect form? I was never told about this form on my 2/10/23 call." Your rep told me there was no record in her database of any call on 2/10/23. Strongly hinting that the fault is somehow mine. I can prove, via cell phone records, I did indeed talk to your service center on 2/10/23.

She told me she would send me this form via email, but that it could take up to a week. I questioned why it would take a week to send an email, but she said it just does.

Time went by, I never received an email. I got another past due notice. I called in again on 2/26/23, went through the whole history and again was told that of course my service is not disconnected, I have not filled out a disconnect form. Again I protested that I HAVE NEVER BEEN SUPPLIED A DISCONNECT FORM. I was further told that since I could not prove I turned in my equipment, the service would continue to be active until I filled out the disconnect form.  I asked why would I keep a 10+ year old modem that only worked on your network? As far as proof, could you not look at the network logs and see that the MAC address of that modem has not received on packet of data since 2/10/23. She told me it doesn't work that way, the FORM was how they tracked end dates.

To this day I have never seen this form, but I do get daily calls asking me to pay my overdue bill.

I asked to speak to a supervisor, or someone with authority to review my case. I was told it was already reviewed and any alternate resolution other than what I was being told has been denied my "them." I asked to speak to "them" and was told that was not possible, their decision was final.

My wife and I have been a Comcast residential subscriber for over 30 years, we had business service since at least 2012. Always paid my bill, never complained or threatened to leave even though the cost 3x in that time and you did not improve the service one bit. I am beyond angry that I am being treated like either a liar or an idiot.

This episode continues to take time away from me running my business and has me questioning why I would want to continue to associate with Comcast. 

Honestly I am to the point of I don't want to talk to business support any longer. If I can't get resolution to this through this forum, since there is no complaint line for the terrible service offered by your support number then my next step is the BBB and the State Attorney General's office. Because I am beginning to feel that this is just a ruse to try and extort more money out of me.

Looking forward to someone contacting me.

@Comcast_ChelseaH​ ,

I also have to cancel.  Other than holding onto receipts, do you have any advice on how to avoid the dog and pony show that @user_c817bc had to go through?

I'm sorry to hear that you'll be needing to cancel services as well, @__J__

 

Calling the main number that the original poster noted, 1-800-391-3000, will allow you to speak to an agent that can then create a ticket (our team here cannot do that part unfortunately, although we can follow up on the ticket once it's been created). You can absolutely ask them for the ticket number, and they should also be able to send you a confirmation of that ticket number, as well as the disconnection form that you will need to fill out and send back, via email. 

 

If you run into issues, please do not hesitate to reach out here, and we will do all we can to ensure that things are taken care of for you! We value the time you've spent as our customer and while we'd certainly prefer that you not leave, if you do need to, we'd definitely like for it to be with a good impression and positive experience :) 

I no longer work for Comcast.

I feel your pain.  I'm trying to disconnect my comcast business service as well, and I have a docusign disconnect request form signed and dated.  Today, instead of receiving a final bill, I got a regular monthly bill and my on-line account contains no mention of disconnecting service.  When I looked at the docusign documents, I noticed that, unlike contractual documents from docusign, Comcast want's this one to be sent to Comcast business services in Centennial, CO.  This is unlike anyone I have ever dealt with who used docusign.  Comcast just uses it as convenient way to pre-fill out a document and apparently this is not a contractual document.  Further, the fax number on the form is not an assigned Comcast number (I called it and that is the message I received), so I can't fax it to them.  I am filing a complaint with the state attorney general's office for deceptive business practices.

Hello @user_dd6145 Sorry to hear you are having trouble cancelling. Have you already attempted to contact our Business team at the 1-800-391-3000 service number?

Yes.  I initially contact the business team at that number, docusign'ed a service disconnect request, was told that I had to pay for the current month (February 2026), which I did, and was told I'd be billed for the $140 voluntary early contract termination fee.  Yesterday, 2/28, I received a bill for March 2026 for full service that included a modem rental fee instead of the early termination fee.  Not only that, but the bill didn't acknowledge that I had returned the modem to an Xfinity store on Feb. 3 (I have the receipt for that).  The customer service agent told me that I could take the modem to either UPS or an Xfinity store.  The agent implied that I had to pay for the month of Feb. and then I would get billed  $140 for early termination of the contract.  No mention was made of paying for two months.  My online account shows no indication of the account terminating.

Wondering what was up, I noticed across the top of the disconnect request form, is a line reading "This form is valid for 30 days. Please return prior to expiration".  This is a rather odd feature for a docusign contractual document.  The "next steps for disconnecting service" page of the two page document makes no mention of returning the signed form, and the fax number on the form, 720-268-8852 is "not an assigned Comcast number" (this per the message I received after calling the number to find out why the fax failed to send).  I then emailed a copy of the form to Comcast_BusinessVDR@cable.comcast.com and got this cryptic reply 3 minutes later: 

** This is an automatic reply to your recent message. Please do not reply to this email. **

This email box does not reply to received messages. If you need assistance with your account please contact our team at the number below.

Not knowing what to make of all of this, I sent a paper copy via US mail on Feb. 28 to

Comcast Business Services

9401 East Panorama Circle

Centennial, CO  80112

FWIW, this webpage is completely wrong: https://business.comcast.com/support/article/ethernet/comcast-business-ethernet-disconnect-request-form/

There is no option ethernet on the services menu and there is no on-line service cancellation option.

@user_dd6145 We will get this escalated for you. Please send us a direct message with your full name, the business name, service address, and the primary phone on the account. Then we can escalate you to our Corporate Business Escalations to fix this all up. If you have the return receipt they should be able to backdate everything.
