The commitment was made on the call but no follow-through was recorded against the case before the customer made contact again.
Customer disputes $410 of excess data charges after a plan change went through late. Agent agrees it looks wrong but the amount exceeds what they can approve.
unresolved: Reverse $410 of excess data charges after a late plan change
promise broken: Come back within three working days on the $410 credit · 70h overdue
no owner assigned: Acknowledged the charge was wrong but could not approve it — over the $200 ceilingtranscript
customerI changed to the bigger plan on the second, but the excess data charges from before that are still on here. Four hundred and ten dollars.
agentLooking at it, I'd agree with you — the plan change should have taken effect before that billing period closed.
customerSo you can take it off?
agentAnything over two hundred I can't action myself. Let me see what I can do and come back to you.
customerHow long does that usually take?
agentI'll come back to you within three working days.

A week later, still nothing. Same agent, same ceiling, another promise to try.
promise open: Get the credit looked at this week
no owner assigned: Case still held by the same agent who cannot approve ittranscript
customerIt's been a week. Nobody's come back about the four hundred and ten.
agentI'm sorry, I've been chasing it. It's still sitting with me because of the approval limit.
customerIs there someone who can just approve it?
agentI'll try to get it looked at this week.
customerThat's what I was told last time.
Suggested next steps
Suggestions only. This system never issues a refund, changes a plan or opens a ticket, and a score
is never used on its own to judge an agent.
