Absolutely horrible customer service. Took several days to even get a phone call back, and when I did the lady was incredibly rude. I was seeking help because there is a claim attached to my social security number that is for someone else. It's a frustrating situation as it is because I'm being held up on getting a home loan because of this, but to be treated with such disrespect and disregard is truly disheartening and infuriating at the same time. To the woman that returned my phone call, you do not belong in customer service. Someone with your attitude and demeanor has no business working for the people of the United States.
