Description Of Change

Please provide a process for resolving incorrect CSR information (on either a Qwest or another co-provider’s CSR). Before converting an account, errors in the CSR are sometimes detected. For example, a customer’s CSR shows only 4 lines even though the customer confirms that it added a 5th line six months ago. For some reason, the 5th line has not posted yet. Because the CLEC is ordering “conversion as specified” (and not new), because the customer already has the 5th line in place, the order does not get through the up-front edits. This is particularly true with Release 7.0. Another example is the situation in which the customer has changed addresses but the CSR still shows the old address. The CLEC is unable to submit a conversion. If the CLEC attempts to process the order, the customer’s lines may get moved back to the old address, or the customer may get back-billed. There is no process to follow when this happens.

This letter has been updated from the original July 13, 2001 written response to your CLEC Change Request Form #5608163 dated June 13, 2001.

Provide a process for resolving incorrect CSR information on either a Qwest or another co-provider’s CSR.

Response: Two options are available when the CSR is incorrect.

The CLEC can Check Manual Handling "Y" and explain in Remarks, for example, "Convert As Is. End User added fifth line 612-253-1234 6/29—CSR shows only four lines."

Open an escalation ticket with the Call Center. If this is the option selected, the CLEC should recognize that the ticket may still result in a manually-handled request, since Qwest may not be able to provide a current CSR in time to meet the CLEC’s needs.

These processes are in place today. They have been documented in the Internal Service Delivery M&Ps for the centers and have been communicated to all Qwest Center personnel. To ensure process compliance in all Qwest centers; a Multi-Channel Communicator (MCC) was released on July 13, 2001. The MCC reiterated the existing options as described above, to resolve incorrect CSR information. To further enforce this process, the MCC was redistributed to the Center Coaches on August 24, 2001

Sincerely,

Nancy J. Hoag Wholesale Product Manager
