Business response:

We appreciate and understand the member's comments. First Electric's member service specialists (MSS) are trained to assist the member at first contact instead of transferring to the call. The initial MSS that spoke with the member had noted the account and the MSS in the call center was able to answer the questions based on those notes. However, we're reviewing policy for special circumstances. We reached out to the member today and left a voicemail explaining the situation. Thank you, First Electric Cooperative
