Ask HN: Dealing with Service Hassles in California – Need Your Advice

1 pointsby amitlzkpaover 1 year ago
Hey Everyone,<p>I hope you&#x27;re all doing well. I&#x27;m dropping a message here because I could really use some advice on a situation I&#x27;ve been stuck in as a customer of California-based companies.<p>I&#x27;ve been a customer in good-standing for a long time and have generally been pretty happy with the service. But recently, I&#x27;ve hit a bit of a snag, and it feels like I&#x27;m caught in a never-ending loop of service requests.<p>Whenever I reach out to their customer service, it just leads to more of the same service requests, and I&#x27;m finding it tough to get any real assistance. They schedule it on their time with a very short window to respond (which has often passed by the time I see the message). It&#x27;s a real pain because it&#x27;s eating up a ton of my time and energy, and I can&#x27;t help but wonder if they&#x27;re doing it on purpose. ; So, I thought I&#x27;d ask you all if you have any ideas or tips on how I can tackle this. I&#x27;d love to find a way to sort this out without having to fill out more of those pesky service requests. Any advice you can share would be awesome.<p>Thanks a bunch for your help.

It&#x27;s worth mentioning that this pattern of customer service also seems to be becoming more common.<p>My guess is it&#x27;s some ticket-based support system on their side and their incentives are to close the tickets within certain time-frames where the actual support seems to take a back-seat.
