 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Andrea H. is phenomenal at her job! She has a quality no other person has. She is patient, kind, and smart. I had an issue for over 2 weeks, and was calling and spoke to several people in the call center. She is the only one who could fix my issue - because she knows how to listen.
