ByHow To Get a Comcast Refund in an Instant
Comcast, the parent organization of Xfinity, is one of the biggest telecommunication companies in America. It offers internet, cable TV, phone, and home security services. In 2019, Comcast had 28.63 million high-speed internet users. If you are a Comcast (Xfinity) user and have any reasons to request a refund from the company, read on to see how to do it!
What Is the Comcast Refund Policy?
Comcast offers refunds when you cancel the service or when you experience service interruptions caused by the company. You may also get back the money you gave for a refundable deposit.
What if I See Extra Charges From Comcast?
If you think Comcast made a mistake in your account billing, you can contact their customer service and ask for a refund. You should contact them within 120 days of receiving your bill. If you have trouble managing your Comcast expenses, you can use DoNotPay’s help to lower your Comcast bill.
Disruption of Services Caused by Comcast
Xfinity’s Agreement for Residential Services states that you shouldn’t use their services in High-Risk Activities—when the disruption of services may cause damage to people, business, property, or the environment.
If you experience a disruption of service caused by circumstances beyond Comcast’s control, such as extreme weather, you won’t be eligible for a refund. Comcast might give you a refund for the disruption of services if the inconvenience was their fault.
You have 120 days to report an interruption to Comcast and request a refund. If your refund request is approved, you will get a pro-rata credit. Keep in mind that you won’t get prorated refunds for:
- Non-recurring charges
- Per call or measured charges
- Regulatory fees
- Taxes
Comcast’s Refundable Deposit
Comcast may require you to pay a refundable deposit when you activate their services or in case you:
- Add Xfinity equipment or services
- Don’t pay bills on time
Comcast will return your deposit in the form of a credit to your account if your account stays in good standing for 12 months. If you decide to stop using Comcast and cancel your agreement, your deposit will be credited to your account, but the company will deduce any amount you owe them.
Make sure that the equipment you have to return is not damaged. If it is, Comcast might decide not to give you a refund or to charge you additional costs.
Will I Get a Refund if I Cancel Comcast?
If you cancel Comcast, you will get a refund for the prepaid months minus any amounts you owe them (such as fees and charges), the unreturned equipment fee, or affiliate services.
What Is the Unreturned Equipment Fee?
If you don’t return your Xfinity equipment on time after canceling Comcast, you might be charged an unreturned equipment fee. You have ten days after your cancellation has been processed to return any Xfinity equipment to Comcast.
If you are a Prince George’s County resident, you have five business days to return your Xfinity equipment. The company will refund the fee in full when you return the equipment.
Alarm Installations Refunds
Comcast offers a 30-day money-back guarantee for their alarm installations. If you cancel within 30 days, the company will provide a refund for the recurring fee you paid for the first month and the charges for standard installation.
How Can I Make a Comcast Refund Request?
If you think you are eligible for a Comcast refund, you will have to contact their customer service to make a refund request. You can do that by going to a local store or contacting them through the Xfinity website.
