Yet another upset irate cranky customer I had the utmost pleasure of dealing with this afternoon.
Long story short: Customer has account closed by accident wanting to get it reactivated - call gets transferred from the support area to me, the agent that's on the phone has said he's actually ID'd the customer.
So I go through my regular procedure try and ID the customer the way we normally do ... but wait a minute .. the details I try aren't the same that she's given me .. so therefore I can't ID ... so how on earth did that other rep ID this customer ... lord only knows!!!
Cut to the call .. she's wanting me to ID her a different way, I can't because when something like this happens, the only alternate option is to head to the store, ID via one of our staff members and have them call in from store, the customer flatly refuses to do this as she thinks it some sort of joke, and the fact she's at work ..
I repeat myself to state that I can't help out, that she needs to go to the store to ID, which then they can call in and we can ID etc .. flat refusal # 2..
She asks me to ID her another way yet again, I state that I cannot because I have certain ways to ID and that if I can't ... well you know the drill by now.
By now the customer's starting to get sick and tired of me repeating the same thing over and over again so she asks to speak to my supervisor .. go grab one and they refuse to take the call too - well we need to find out who we're talking to and why ... and if we can't ID ... well you know ...
Then she starts getting personal, stating what I'm doing to her etc ... in the meantime unbeknownst to myself she's put me on loudspeaker so that another colleague of hers can hear what's going on .. later on in the call I find out .. I'm not happy she's done this because it's her account details, I don't want to go divulging stuff to her and have someone else listen in .. and did I authorise for someone else to listen in on the call ? HELL NO!!!
In the end the call ends in a fairly nasty fashion, she's heading off to the TIO, as her account is used for business purposes, and since she's had it disconnected she's losing business ... I add my notes in that I have repeatedly advised the customer to go visit the store to ID but she has refused and that I'm sticking to my policy and procedure ...
So what part of "I can't help you because I am unable to ID you" does she NOT get ??!!
