I closed my account on May 3rd and returned the equipment the next day, Monday May 4th. I was given a receipt and fortunately kept it. I received a bill for the next 30-day cycle ending June 6th. When I called today to straighten this out, I was told that it showed that I owed $50. I told the representative that this bill is for $156.97 and that, in fact, they owed me a refund for the 3 days paid in advance. She then acknowledged that this was true, however, she claimed that I did not return the equipment.
I had been forewarned that this would happen by a friend who recently had the same thing happen. I will take the receipt to the office to try to clear this up, but I find this very suspicious. She said if I did not have the receipt, they would charge me and if I did not pay, it would go to collections! Thank goodness I switched to Verizon. I know Comcast's number by heart because I have had so many problems with them.
I will update once I see how this is subsequently handled. I won't be surprised if it doesn't end here.
