Just ignore that. It doesn’t impact anything. We will fix it later.

ACH traffic was blocked without alerts for two weeks, throwing Blue payments into chaos.
What is March?
Customer: I set up a bank transfer last night but it hasn't settled yet. I want to use the credit card feature now so I can move in today.
Procedure: Do not accommodate. The bank transfer cannot be reversed without a lot of back office effort.
We mailed it on August 8 to the Winding Lane address. Do you want us to cancel it and mail a new one? What’s a better address?

Why didn’t you respond to my Friday night email until Monday?
Agent: I only just learned that we can’t collect a payment if another payment was made earlier in the week.
Customer: Why did you not collect the remaining principal on Friday like you said you would?
Well, since you wrote in, I have to respond. We need to continue sending operational emails but will unsubscribe you from marketing.
WHY DO YOU KEEP EMAILING ME WHEN I SAID TO STOP?????
I'm stuck in IDV!
What is April, before Verne's improvements were released
Procedure: Direct them to send the first and signature page of the lease to Sila. Sila won't let Roost validate the address on behalf of the customer.

When is this issue going to be fixed?? I need help ASAP!

What is March, after Sander imported the restricted leases?
Customer: I’ve been waiting for my refund check for six weeks. Now I want an ACH refund instead.
Procedure Do not accommodate. Our system thinks she’s already been paid by Chase. It will take too much time to unwind and re-initiate a transfer. Cancel and reissue the check instead.
Sure! Fill out and have all roommates sign this change order, get your property manager to sign it and send it to me. I’ll then send you a notification to pay. Hurry, though! You need to initiate the bank transaction at least three days before move-in to use our free ACH channel.
Can I pay the whole deposit for my three sisters?
Our contract with the property is to send one check made out to all parties.
Our bank won’t accept the refund check made out to three people unless we all appear in the branch together. We live hours apart (guarantor and daughter + boyfriend at college 4 states away). Can’t you just send separate checks? I’ll pay for the extra checks.
