Comcast/Xfinity Comcast set up an account in my name without permission and trying to charge me for service. Cookeville Tennessee

 I moved into my apartment less than a year ago Oct. 2014, the apartment owner supplied free cable which is in my lease.  I plugged in the cable and it would not work so I called the landlord he said to call Comcast they advised me that they changed to digital in my area and I would have to get their free receiver box Nov 2014, so they asked  information such as phone number, address, name the usual so they could send me a box.

 I then received a letter from my landlord stating as of June 1, 2015 he was no longer providing Comcast service, period and that was all. On, July 6, 2015 I receive a bill from Comcast for $127.00 stating that my account was past due from May 2015.

 I called Comcast and did I get a shock, they have an account set up in my name without my permission saying I now owe $171.00 they claim they mailed a letter stating that they automatically put this service in my name because the landlord stop paying for it and they say they sent a letter to me describing this BOGUS transaction. I never received anything but a bill. I asked if this was a certified letter? Did they call me to discus this matter? to both questions NO.....

 I told them they should have shut the service off if the account holder stop paying for it and they had no right to slip that over in my name without my permission. The associates argued with me and no one was compliant. I spoke with 7 different associates trying to resolve this matter all trying to convince me that this fradulant action was okay and their policy. One associate said they used the information from the FREE cable box to set this BOGUS account up and I should report identity theft to Comcast.net, I tried to do this and their is no where to do this on the website. 

I am livid!!!!!! this is a ridiculous scam for a company this large. The land lord expressed he had issues with this company Comcast and that is the reason he will no longer use them. He said to ask for Tonjia F. with the Charter Bulk rate department and also tell the associates to speak with her as she handles this account... I was told they do not have a bulk rate department any longer by one associate and I was told by another that this Tonija F. would not talk to anyone she only deals in email and they refused to give me her email or take mine they insisted I pay this bill.....

What can I do about this? Does anyone have a solution? This will affect my credit report... How can a company be allowed to practice these fradulant actions and get away with it? Is there any rights for victims of this nature?
