Apparently, There Is Only One Insurance Company
Me: “Hi, [Insurance Company #1], this is [My Name]. How can I help you?”
Customer: “Yes, I’d like to pay my [Insurance Company #2]’s bill.”
Me: “I am sorry, but you have called [Insurance Company #1], not [Insurance Company #2]. I can’t help you pay your bill.”
Customer: “Oh, then can you look up the number for my agent?”
Me: “I am sorry, but as I am from [Insurance Company #1], I don’t have access to agent information for [Insurance Company #2].”
Customer: “Can’t you look it up on your computer on the Yellow Pages?”
Me: “Ma’am, I am sorry but I can’t. I don’t have access to outside sites.”
Customer: “Can’t you use your phone to look it up? Like on your iPhone or something?”
Me: “Ma’am, I cannot assist you.”
Customer: “I just want to pay my bill. It’s under [Customer].”
Me: “I am sorry, but I have already explained to you that I do not work for the company that carries your insurance, so I cannot process a payment for you.”
Customer: “Okay, so look it up for me.”
Me: “Ma’am, I hope you get the help you need.”
