Morgan saved the day!

Having been frustrated with the lack of help I have received with other call handlers in the past I would rate Ascent 2 stars. However, today I spoke with Morgan who was informative, patient and understanding of a time sensitive issue. She was helpful and empathetic. My 5 stars are for her service!

Recent call with Alfie

I had a stressful situation I needed to address, but didnt really know what to do or how to navigate the process. Alfi was polite, very helpful, empathetic, and very clear in what was needed.
He helped me by providing information that I didnt have and when I had further problems I was able to call back and speak directly with him.

Amazing Experience

I spoke to a lovely girl Angel who made me feel a million times better. She was very kind and understanding. She explained everything very clearly and ensured I understood without using all this legal jargon. Like I told her, if I were close to Manchester, I would buy her flowers
