Re: [Bill] Comcast billing issue on the Consumerist site said by mikedz4:Personally I think comcast will credit her account one last time and setup her a new account with new everything including account number. Now if it continues after that then they need to just cancel her service.
They already credited her account over $800 it's highly unlikey they'll credit it again especially after numerous box swaps. The account number stays with the address so she won't get a new one unless she moves. If she disconnects and someone else activates service at the same address the account # the only digital(s) that will change would be the last one or two numbers of the account which is considered the occupancy number. |

kudos:1 | The titles are not softcore titles.
I've never watched them to verify that they aren't toned down, but would assumme they are not.
I'll try to get a screen cap tonight.

(Just more of that first class service you can expect from Kabletown. "But we cannnn't give you a new account number. It's too harrrrd.") |

And this is the customer's problem how, now? (Just more of that first class service you can expect from Kabletown. "But we cannnn't give you a new account number. It's too harrrrd.") Who said changing the account number would fix it? Bottom line the issue would still exist and wouldn't change a thing. New account number/new boxes w/same behavior/circumstances = disputed charges for adult movies with a different account number.
Here's her options:
A) she needs to convince Comcast to credit back the charges.
B) she needs to pay the bill or could be disconnected for non-payment or
C) win her case in court.
D) get disconnected by refusing to pay which will eventually be reported to a credit bureau. |

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. |
