Have you ever purchased something like internet service and were transferred to a representative to verify your transaction? Well, the service rep who verified your purchase is known as a Third Party Verification or TPV agent.
When I worked as a customer service rep at AT&T (known as SBC at the time), we had to transfer customers to a TPV agent anytime we placed an order for internet or long distance service.
They were responsible for ensuring that one, the customer agreed to that service. And two, that I accurately explained everything to the customer such as service rates and early termination fees.
Why The Need For TPV Agents
Back in the 80’s, Southwestern Bell was known as a monopoly. But after the phone company was split into regional companies there was an increase in telephone slamming. That’s when a customer is given a telephone service and changed without their consent.
Because of repeated customer complaints, telecommunication companies were now required to submit a verbal request for changes in service to a third-party verification (TPV) agent.
At the time, I thought that had to be the coolest job ever. The TPV agent records the conversation and verifies that the customer did want a new long-distance carrier or any change in their service.
