Philadelphia, PA | Re: $1.99 FEE to PAY BILL AT LOCAL COMCAST OFFICE From the article:
I noticed that my Comcast bill this month was about $25 more than usual. Upon reading the billing details, I saw a strange $25 "return item" fee. I called, and the Comcast billing representative explained that they had accidentally double-billed ALL customers who use e-billing.

Comcast is now blaming Wells Fargo for the billing errors:
Comcast blames billing mistake on Wells Fargo
FierceCable - March 16, 2012
»www.fiercecable.com/story/comcas···12-03-16
"Comcast is blaming Wells Fargo Bank for accidentally double billing Xfinity subscribers in March, and then charging customers $25 fees for correcting the mistake. The nation's largest MSO apologized to subscribers last night via Twitter, and it also pushed Wells Fargo to issue its own apology.
"Although the amount due on your March billing statement is correct, your statement may also reflect a duplicate payment, a returned check fee, and the corresponding reversals of the duplicate payment and returned check fee. These entries resulted from incorrect information Wells Fargo provided to Comcast. Wells Fargo wants you to know Comcast did not cause this error," the bank wrote in statements that were sent to Comcast customers." |

Headline seems a little misleading. Sounds like Wells Fargo is taking responsibility. |

Dear Comcast Customer,
Wells Fargo Bank provides payment processing services to Comcast. We are writing to apologize for potentially
confusing information appearing on your March billing statement from Comcast.
Although the amount due on your March billing statement is correct, your statement may also reflect a duplicate payment, a returned check fee, and the corresponding reversals of the duplicate payment and returned check fee. These entries resulted from incorrect information Wells Fargo provided to Comcast.
Wells Fargo wants you to know Comcast did not cause this error. Wells Fargo is working with Comcast to ensure this doesn't happen again.
We sincerely apologize for our error and any inconvenience it may have caused you.
Sincerely,
Wells Fargo Bank |

Different strokes for different folks, but IMHO anybody who just opens their cash-stash or credit card for monthly withdrawal-at-will by either of these scummy companies is just asking for it. Hope they didn't suffer any bounced checks for their trouble. |
