Xfinity won't reimburse for channels lost in contract dispute
About a month ago, I called to find out why my monthly charge had gone up. I reached a call center. The woman in the call center noticed that I had been an Xfinity customer for 20 years. She told me that, because I had been such a loyal customer, Xfinity was going to send me a free smart watch. I just had to pay $28 for shipping, which I agreed to do.
Within about a week, the watch arrived, but I was too busy to open the box. Pretty soon Xfinity started calling me twice a day to activate the watch. The man at that call center informed me that, to use the watch, Xfinity was going to add $12 a month to my bill… Well, $15 a month with taxes. I told him that I didn’t want to spend that money. “Why not? It is only $12 a month?” he said. I said, “That’s $144 a year. $180 a year with tax. I don’t want to pay that.”
At that point, he informed me if I didn’t agree to pay this extra charge then I would have to return the watch. No problem! I never even took it out of the box. He said they would send me a shipping label.
Because I felt like Xfinity had been manipulative and deceitful, I decided to personally return the watch. I marched into the Xfinity store and as soon as I said that I had been offered a free watch, he started shaking his head. He said that he knew exactly what I was going to say and he apologized to me for the entire incident. He checked my account and said that I still had 5 days to return the watch. He printed off the label and taped down to the box. He instructed me to take it to FedEx, which I did straight away.
At this point, I felt played and was frustrated they Xfinity wasted my time and $28 dollars.
But things were about to get so much worse.
I have auto-pay for my Xfinity account. This week, Xfinity went into my account and withdrew $350 without my knowledge or consent! Only after they withdrew the money, I received an email informing me that the watch was “badly damaged” and so I had to pay for it. Let me emphasize this again: I never even took the watch out of the box! I returned it to Xfinity is perfect, brand-new condition.
This is a scam. I never went looking for a smart-watch. Xfinity told me it was “a free gift” because I had been with the company for 20 years. Now I am out $378.
I want my money back. Period.
And are they going to return to me the “free watch” that has wound up costing me $378? I am not holding my breath. I can practically guarantee you that the perfect watch I returned is for sale somewhere on Ebay.
I am not taking this lying down. I am filing complaints with the Florida Attorney General’s Office, the Florida Department of Consumer Affairs and the Federal Communications Commission.
This is a scammy and scummy business practice. They cheated me out of $378 after I have paid the company more than $20,000 over the last two decades. Well, they won’t be getting any more of my money. I don’t do business with deceitful companies.
