An asset to the company.

I got myself worried as I accidentally cancelled the monthly payments. I have been dealing with my elderly mom, who has dementia. I'm running around a lot and was cancelling stuff online. Thankfully the company sent me emails. I rang this morning and the lady was so understanding bless her. I spoke about my situation and she helped me to sort it all out. She is an asset to your team in customer service. Thank you once again.
