Switching a Comcast Account to a New Name

Customer accounts at Comcast are associated not just with a responsible person, but with that person's name. If an account holder changes their name due to marriage, divorce or some other reason, or if you want to transfer the account to a different person, you should arrange to change the name on the account to prevent problems later. If there's ever a dispute about who is responsible for a bill, having the correct name on the account protects both parties.
