Actual Scenario & Conversation
Vendor: Hello, how may I help you?
UTR: Yes, I submitted a disconnect order last week and did not receive a confirmation number.
Vendor: Sorry to hear that. Could you please resend?
UTR: No problem; I’ll send it now, and you can verbally confirm receipt and email the number to me.
Vendor: Sorry, but I do not manage the email box. That is another department. Would you like to call them directly?
UTR: Yes please.
We called a few times receiving a constant busy signal and then repeated the process detailed above.
Finally we received a confirmation number but the time frame for the disconnect was pushed into the next bill period — now needing credit tracking and verification. On the next invoice we confirmed the service was removed (yay) but proper credit wasn’t applied (ugh)!
UTR: Hello, on a recent disconnect (provide details) we didn’t receive the proper credit?
Vendor: I am sorry but we don’t have the request to disconnect so I can’t help
you. Would you like to speak with someone who can assist?
UTR: Yes please.
And so it goes….
