SAINT PAUL, Minn. (CBS) – Philly-based cable and internet giant, Comcast-Xfinity, is facing a lawsuit in Minnesota. The State Attorney General says the company is violating consumer protection laws.

She says the company charges cable subscribers more than promised, adding fees for unrequested equipment and service and not delivering gift cards for renewed contracts.

Comcast disagreed with the allegations.

"We fully disclose all charges, fees and promotional requirements. The facts do not support the Minnesota Attorney General's allegations," said the company in a statement.
