I do TOO have HBO! (New retention policy?)

I cancelled HBO today, but not without more effort than necessary. The stupid IVR kept telling me I didn't need to cancel HBO because i didn't have it. I realize they hard sell when you try to cancel, but that was a bit much :)

I just had to keep chanting "talk to a person" until it finally gave in and let me talk to someone.

They key word is "representative".
...So what you're saying is that DirecTV's IVR now speaks 'Jedi'... ;-)

-e.B
I've always and only ever said "speak to an agent" to get to a CSR. Easy-peasy.
Aside from the old "bang 0 till it hurts", I once just said something like:

"oijsaovijsvso"

to which the automated attendant politely told me it didn't understand and to please repeat what I just said. So I said:

"soijvoisjvosjvo"

The attendant then told me:

"I didn't get that. One moment while I transfer you to a live agent who can further assist you." :)
^^^^^^^

I see what you said but how did you pronounce it? :D

Yeah, that works too!
