Comcast Various Billing Problems

I moved in October 2102 and resumed service in December 2012. I was assigned a new account. Payment has posted to my old account and I have called Comcast over 15 times to get the payments and credits corrected. I have never been late or missed a payment in my 4 year history of service with Comcast, yet my service was disconnected and threatening to be disconnected again over $40.00 that I do not owe. I have sent several faxes detailing payments, called numerous times to clear the matter and requested to speak with a supervisor over 5 times to no avail.
The problem I have is if I call in the account states I am 40.00 past due, yet my bill does not reflect 40.00 past due but 117.93, which is the first payment on the new account minus a credit on the old account that was misapplied to the old account and they have failed to transfer to the new account after several attempts on my behalf to do so. The 40.00 was corrected and is no longer an issue, the 117.93 needs to be transferred from old to new account. The late charges needs to be removed and there should be not credit bureau reporting of late payments.
How can Comcast disconnect my service for 40.00 when their billing do not show 40.00 is due?
Why does Comcast supervisors do not honor the commitment to call within 4 hours?
Why does Comcast on-line, phone and paper billing show different amounts due?
Why does it take three months to correct billing issues or transfer misapplied payments?
Here are my account numbers, tracking numbers and ticket numbers associated with this issue.
Old account: 1920434311907
New account: 1920440804208
Tracking numbers:013649364, 013858280, 014071268
Ticket numbers: 014420159
I've spent well over 20 hours on this issue.
I want my account corrected immediately. I want assurance that proper reporting of my account being paid on time is reported to the credit bureau.
I am considering looking further into the billing, disconnection and customer service practices of Comcast in consideration of a personal suit or a class action suit, due to the stress, improper disconnection of service and the failure to resolve issues timely.

The exact same thing happened to me. They said the triple play from Comcast sucks would be $116 a month, that's for phone, internet and cable with movie channels. The week before I called, I had a credit of $86.00, ergo, that's in my favor. The week after I called my bill said, "AMOUNT DUE $297.11". I went right past anger, past rage, and right to serenity, knowing, okay, that's it. No more arguing with Comcast sucks, no more being handed off to 10 different people with 10 different accents, no more demanding and explanation of why my bill jumped nearly $400 in two weeks when they said $116.00. I unplugged everything, brought all their crap back and took the least expensive thing they had, which is $16.95 a month. I then got my phone and DSL through Century Link for another $29 a month. I'm not down with paying 15% of my take home pay for TV and phone and Internet, more like 5% tops. I don't make a lot of money, and I'm not paying $1,500 - $2,000 a year for TV and a phone and Internet!!! Comcast sucks! Now I pay $50 a month for everything. I would say dump the Comcast sucks and get one of those thingees you hook up to your TV and get free digital cable, or get it off the Internet. I don't even deal with Comcast sucks any more, just the basic limited cable so I can watch the news. I'm saving about $150 a month now.

All I can say is good luck. Comcast has always been the pits to deal with. So much so, in fact, that they had to change their name to Xfinity in a feeble attempt to fool people into thinking that it wasn't Comcast they were dealing with. Cable companies are a pain in the butt to deal with, and Comcast is their king. I'll just stick to my antenna and Roku player. Way less expensive and way better service.
