There are slightly different procedures for the takeover of a personal account because of incapacity, the takeover of a personal account for other reasons, and the takeover of a business account. In all cases you will need to have the following things with you:Photos of government-issued IDs for both the original and new primary account holdersPersonal information for bothContact information for bothThe account numberThe answers to any security questions you may haveIf the account takeover is the result of incapacity on the part of the original primary account holder, you will also need a signed power of attorney or conservatorship.

This may require the representative to speak with the new primary account holder, so try to have them standing ready for a call, just in case. You may be mailed forms to fill out and sign, depending on the circumstances. (The forms could also be online.) You may be required to get them notarized before you mail them back to the company.
The whole account takeover process could take days to complete, but it is a fairly simple process. Still, if something goes wrong, you can always call Spectrum's customer service to get help. The customer service center is open 24 hours a day, every day. However, you might want to call during normal business hours, in case other departments than customer service are needed to complete the account takever.
GetHuman has been working for over 10 years on sourcing information about big organizations like Comcast in order to help customers resolve customer service issues faster. We started with contact information and fastest ways to reach a human at big companies. Particularly ones with slow or complicated IVR or phone menu systems. Or companies that have self-serve help forums instead of a customer service department. From there, we realized that consumers still needed more detailed help solving the most common problems, so we expanded to this set of guides, which grows every day. And if you spot any issues with our What do I do if my Xfinity TV or internet is out? guide, please let us know by sending us feedback. We want to be as helpful as possible. If you appreciated this guide, please share it with your favorite people. Our free information and tools is powered by you, the customer. The more people that use it, the better it gets.
