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.

When I worked for Dish Network, the story from customers was the same. "
