Keep being told that speaking with a representative is not a &amp;quot;valid option.&amp;quot; And have gotten hung up on several times. Just spent 30 minutes trying to reach a person with no success.

I am not dumb, first of all, I know how to interact with IVR. I have a specific question that I need to ACTUALLY TALK TO A PERSON about. Why is this so hard? Why can&amp;#39;t I actually talk to a freaking human being. I have one question. This is crazy man, I have never had such an issue reaching a real person&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Why can providers not reach an actual person?
