Trouble reaching the right department - need new number to call. Help!

Has anyone else had trouble getting through to the right department? I called the number they gave me but it was no help at all. Now I'm trying to find a different number to call. This is so frustrating! Any advice on how to actually reach someone who can help?

Ugh, I feel your pain! I've been trying to get through for weeks. It's like they're purposely making it difficult. Have you tried calling early in the morning? Sometimes that works for me.

Early morning calls are hit or miss for me. I've had better luck right after lunch tbh

I think they open at 8am, but don't quote me on that. It's been a while since I checked 😅

I found a way to actually get someone on the phone! I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/pVSidIVLq0c

Sounds too good to be true. Has anyone else tried this?

20 bucks? That's steep just to make a phone call...

I know it sounds sketchy, but I swear it worked for me. Saved me hours of frustration. Worth every penny imo

How long did you have to wait before they connected you?

It took about an hour, but I didn't have to sit there listening to hold music. They just called me when an agent was ready.

Have you tried their online portal? Sometimes you can get more info there without having to call.

Same boat here. It's like they don't want us to get help 🙄

Here's what I've learned after dealing with this for way too long: 1. Keep a log of all your calls (date, time, who you spoke to) 2. Ask for a reference number for each call 3. If possible, get an email address to follow up 4. Be persistent but polite 5. If all else fails, contact your local representative It's a pain, but you gotta play the long game with these bureaucrats. Don't give up!
