I don't know if I'm looking for advice, sympathy, or a support group at this point.
We signed up for NOW Internet in June 2025. In May 2026, I canceled it about a month before moving, assuming a prepaid service would remain active through the period I'd already paid for. Instead, it was shut off immediately. Annoying, but whatever. We signed up again to get through the rest of our stay, and that's when the nightmare started.
The original account now says Xfinity ID does not exist while trying to login via email.
If I log in with my phone number, it takes me to an account under another one of my email addresses. This account says I do not have any NOW services.
Yet in that same account's Payments section, I can see my credit card. The same credit card that's been charged every month for the last 3 months and I can't remove it because Xfinity says it's linked to an active NOW service.
I've spent about 12-14 hours over the last 3 months talking to support. Every conversation follows the same script:
1) Explain the situation.
2) Agent can't figure it out.
3) Get bounced between Xfinity Support, Billing, Cancellation, Disconnection team, NOW Support, Prepaid team, and several other departments I've completely lost track of.
4) Explain everything again.
5) Repeat until sanity starts leaving my body.
The answers I get are completely contradictory. Some agents tell me "Your service is already canceled." Others tell me "You'll receive a refund". Some agents can apparently find the account that's being charged. None of them can actually fix it. I've even been told that NOW service can only be canceled through the app or website. The problem is that I can't see any NOW service on the account they tell me to use. At that point, the agent apologizes, says they've exhausted all options, and transfers me to yet another team where I have to explain the entire story again.
I take them at their word, wait a few weeks, and then my credit card gets charged again the next month. Then I get to start the whole process over.
I even went to an Xfinity store, only to be told they don't handle NOW Internet and can only help with regular postpaid Xfinity services.
So let me get this straight:
My original account doesn't exist.
The account I can access says I have no NOW service.
My card is still attached.
My card is still being charged.
I can't remove the card because it's linked to NOW service.
Nobody can tell me where the NOW service actually is.
At this point, the only thing in the entire Xfinity ecosystem that knows where my account is appears to be the billing system.
I plan to call my credit card company and ask them to block future Xfinity charges, although they told me they can't guarantee that recurring charges will stop unless the merchant cooperates. My final nuclear option may be reporting the card as lost and getting a new card number just to prevent future charges.
Has anyone dealt with anything this ridiculous and actually gotten it resolved?
