When my father died I rang to cancel his service and was asked for his password. I explained I didn't live with him and had no way of knowing it. I couldn't believe my ears when the woman then said I'd have to guess it. I'd tried about 5 guesses for the obvious things like Mother's maiden name etc and then snapped and demanded to be put through to someone in the UK. When the call was transferred I didn't even have to say anything as she knew what I'd just been asked to do and sincerely apologised straight away.

Management of these companies will always say foreign call centre workers are all university graduates and better trained, but were expecting me to extract the password from a dead man.

It's because they never divert from the script in front of them. Give them an unscripted situation they melt.

Foreign call centres never benefit the customers. They are just a way of saving money.

I'm sure they manage to deal with a large proportion of the calls that are more mundane, rather than the exceptional case described above

If you're not getting anywhere with the foreign call centre, then kindly insist on speaking to a supervisor, or if communication is proving difficult to someone based in the UK. These requests are generally on their script!
