Unauthorized plan change
I just received my latest bill with a charge for $75.00 labelled “Cox Complete Care Cancellation Fee.”
This is presumably related to an unauthorized change to my account that I immediately notified a Cox customer service agent about on July 30.
I was notified about the unauthorized change to me plan via a text from Cox at 7:39 PM on July 30. A change was made to my account to add something called “Cox Complete Care.”
I DID NOT make a change to my account to add this service, So I immediately called Cox customer service to report the unauthorized change and $10 charge.
I was told that I had to call back the next day, Monday, since there was no one available on Sunday to fix this unauthorized change to my account.
I called back the next morning immediately when the support lines opened at 8:00 on Monday July 31 and explained that my account had an unauthorized change made to add this service.
The Cox representative apologized for the unauthorized change and said that this service would be removed from my account and my bill would continue to be $49.99.
I received a text from Cox at 8:24 AM on Monday, July 1 notifying me that the service was removed from my plan
So, this unauthorized service was apparently added to my account for about 13 hours overnight on a Sunday and I just received a bill for $75 for “Cox Complete Care Cancellation Fee” since someone at Cox made an unauthorized change to my plan that I fixed ASAP?

It sounds like you may have recently had a technician out to your home to troubleshoot a problem that was ultimately determined to be an in-home related issue. If that's the case, there may or may not have been discussion about subscribing to Cox Complete Care which would cover the cost of such visits. If you do this then cancel, any service visits within the past 90 days deemed to be an in-home related problem would be retroactively billed to your account to discourage you from subscribing to Cox Complete Care for the sole purpose of evading a technician service all fee.

If you had a technician out to your home and repaired an issue in the home, like fixing a cable wire, running a new wire to replace a bad cable, fixing wall plates, etc etc, OR worked with someone at Cox Complete Care, for let's say a personally owned router, they may have added the 10$ a month charge to your account to alleviate the 75$ or 99$ charge for support. If it's removed within 3 months, you get charged the full price of the TC, or assistance with CCC call.
