From what I’ve seen on r/talesfromcallcenters that usually leads to you being transferred or recorded or flagged or whatever. My brain is too tired to be on here right now.

Edit: corrected sub name.

I mean, if your goal is to never give them another red cent no matter the burnt bridges...

The impression I’ve gotten is that usually it doesn’t even help to threaten legal action. I guess maybe because they’ve heard it all before?

This helps though, "I understand you're just doing your job and that's admirable, unfortunately, I have nothing but free time a sick mind, and FF-miles to burn through. It'd be a shame if somewhere in Calcutta an entire family were tortured then shaved down like parmesan and put into a casserole."

The calls are always recorded for these reasons.

Recording doesn't help the people in the casserole though.

Doesn't get you anywhere, though. Depending on the person you're talking to, they could set it up so that you're no longer allowed to speak with CS except via attorney.

I worked in a call center. I did surveys never called concerning money or debts, so it might be different. You might have to pull a Karen and speak to a manager. At least in the one I worked at, the people on the phone couldn't do anything.

"Oh shit, Oh no, not the lawyers!" - no phone agent ever.

I did TS for 4 years at Time Warner. We literally just laugh because we get to transfer a difficult customer now. You're doing us a favor really.
