Round 3 with Dell

If you will recall, we received an email from Mark Thompson in "Customer Support", in response to a support submission on Dell Financial Service's site :

Dear Ms. Kosloskey,

...groovy...

So time to make a call to the brand new number, the important sounding "Asset Protection Service". Finally, about to get to the bottom of this mess and close our account!

Fax machine...
Very amusing...
Called twice to make sure...

A funny guy, this Mark Thompson. But I must say, in all honesty, I felt better served by the electronic emminations. Although only mildly less intelligible than many of the Dell representatives I'd spoken to, there was a complexity and depth in the chirping tones and whistles not to be found on Dell Customer Care...

Anyway, I thought in the short term I'd make due with what I have, and decided to utilize the provided fax number. I've printed this entire blog up to date and faxed it to the provided Dell Fax Number.

Fingers crossed!

stay tuned...
