I just spoke to a gentleman at your office and he was very helpful. Excellent customer service, understanding and explanation of what I needed to do. Thank you
Awful horrible service. Rude and combative right off the bat. Unhelpful, no real answers. Did not listen to what I said and tried to tell me 'you didn't tell me that'. Every time you call this office these people are AWFUL. I don't know how you keep your jobs.TERRIBLE RUDE EMPLOYEES.
Unhelpful and unreliable. I have been trying for months now to get a replacement social security card only to find out they literally lost my information. Now how am I going to get a new social when you have all of my proofs of id?
They have bad customer service and mess up everything. They blame it on you when it was their mistakes. They don’t try to help with anything. They rather tell you that you have to fix it yourself even if it wasn’t your mistake.
Lady who was 'working from home' was VERY rude and totally unprofessional. She repeated the same thing 3 times....when I informed her if understood the first time, she replied,'Don't get smart with me!' I reminded her if had nut yelled, cursed, or called her names. She again told me I had been smart with her. I informed her I am smart and educated. She hung up on me. Great people to help citizens.
Who do I send my check stubs to for my daughter's ssi. How should I address the envelope
Called to make an appointment and was told what I needed could be taken care of right on the phone. Mr Davis was professional, courteous and knowledgeable. Only took a few minutes and everything was completed. Thank you.
I obviously needed to speak with someone; however, OMG! The number of prompts are ridiculous. How do I speak to someone? Is there a direct number that can be reached from one organization to another? I'm sorry to say, this is just unacceptable.
My S.S. card and Birth certificate were stolen. I need to see about getting a new replacement for both.
They are kind and very helpful
On January 5th around 11:30 am i call the muncie branch to ask questions in regards to my daughters replacement social security card. I talked with a women that was very rude and made very unprofessional comments. When i asked to speak to a supervisor she hung up on me. I have never talked with such an unprofessional person like this before. i highly recommend that you go back to the time and date listed above and listen to the way this women talked to me. You can also use it in training lessons of how not to speak to a person in need of help. I hope that this is taken care of because she should not be allowed to talk to anyone like this again. Thank you
I mailed in paperwork for a new SS card awhile ago and havent received my new card.
