Re: [Bill] Comcast billing issue on the Consumerist site Who said changing the account number would fix it? Doing it might provide important diagnostic information going forward - one could leave the old account number live as a honeypot, so to speak.
That is, if you're really interested in getting to the bottom of this. But with such wonderful tools at Comcast's disposal like blackening a customer's credit history, why bother with diagnostics and fixing your billing system? |

 | Let me get this straight...adult movies ordered, multiple box swaps, parental control/pin codes are setup, credits of over $800 dollars given, yet movies are still being ordered constitutes a problem with the billing system?
It's apparently your hatred for Comcast has clouded your thought process. |

You're right, of course. I'm jumping to conclusions. It could be sucky security measures as well.
But yeah, any billing system where a customer's former box at a new address results in a ding for the old customer - something several people have admitted happens - then there's definitely a monkey wrench somewhere in that system and/or process that only rears its head under a combination of conditions.
Maybe if Comcast had some skin in the game - if they endured losses for their laziness instead of just turning disagreeing customers into credit risks - they'd, you know, get to the bottom of things.
Customer has already blocked PPV, so even she gets that you have to turn stuff off one by one to solve a problem like this. |
