Deductible: Secure Agent Payment Group

Deductible: Secure Agent Payment Group

When all efforts fail to securely capture payment information, Customer Service, Escalations, Authorizations, Support Services, and Parts Sourcing agents will transfer the customer to the Secure Agent Group to manually enter Initial and Replacement Deductible payment details.

When an inbound transfer is received, quickly note the Case Number, Item, Brand, Type if applicable, Model info if available, Location, and Problem Description if initiating service.
DO NOT REFUSE A CALL CONFERENCE FOR ANY REASON.
NOTE: If SP was located via extended zip or service locator the transferring agent should provide you with the SP information including their account number so they may be force assigned.
If customer accepted an appointment date for Sears, GE, or Whirlpool the agent will relay that information in hopes the same appointment may be selected. 

Bring the customer on the line and advise you have all the information needed and confirm the item information as you enter their service request utilizing the suggested scripting below. 

Call Transfer: Deductible Collection - Scripting

Call Transfer Received Script

 “Hi <Customer Name>, Thank you for holding, my name is <XXXX>.

I was advised you called regarding <XXXX> and will be happy to assist with updating your payment details today...“

NOTE: Relay the service request details to the customer so they know you are ready to enter their information and are only confirming you have the correct details:

"Let's go ahead and confirm you are requesting service on the [item, brand, location, problem] is that correct?" 

If the customer is frustrated with confirming the request details you may advise:
"I want to make sure the correct information is sent to the service provider, Thank you for your patience."

Replacement Deductible:

"To confirm, you are calling in to pay the replacement deductible for the [item] is that correct?"

If a CONFERENCE is received instead of a TRANSFER where the transferring agent does not disconnect from the line, Use the following script to request they drop from the line:

Conference - Agent still on the line

 “Thank you <Agent Name> please go ahead and disconnect from the line." 

If the call then gets disconnected, Call the customer back. 

The proper steps for collecting Card information and utilizing the Deductible Payment Collection Script are as follows:
  1.  Verify the name on the card they will be using to ensure you are speaking with the Card Holder.
  2.  Read the Payment Collection Script verbatim, making sure to state the correct Name of the caller when appropriate.
  3.  Verify the Billing address for the card being used.
  4.  Gather Card details. (Credit Card #, Expiration Date, and CVV) 
  5.  Process the Payment. 
The script MUST be read verbatim, and the caller MUST provide verbal authorization Before we attempt to gather Card details.

Deductible Payment Collection Script

“<Customer Name>, in connection with your <Product Name> Home Service Plan, you authorize Cinch to charge the credit card you are providing today, <Date> the deductible amount of <Amount> per service request.

<Customer Name>, with the understanding that the payment arrangement made today <Date> does not modify the terms of your <Product Name>.

Do I have your authorization to proceed?”

Caller must be an authorized user of the card.


If the caller is attempting to use a card not associated with their name, then request another form of payment.

“Please verify the billing address associated with the card you are using.”

Manually enter the billing address associated with the card being used.

“What is your card number, expiration date, and CVV (security code)?”

Do not record the caller’s card information anywhere except in the payment collection screen.


Do not take written notes containing the caller’s card information.


Do not read the credit card number, expiration date, or CVV number back to the caller.


If you feel you missed or mistyped a number, THEN ask the customer to repeat the numbers for Confirmation.
