5 call attempts today to the BC CFO

Get through on attempt 4, call drops while on hold

Attempt 5 goes through again and I manage to get my information and question off, call drops while on hold.

Horse Shoe luck so far today 🤞

Edit: and we’re approved for transfer baby!!

I am on call 63, was on hold 3 times, all dropped after ~10 minutes.

Edit: now it says their office is currently closed. this message was played after my 4th time on hold, this time for 29 minutes. All new calls just plays the message that their office is closed.

Frustrating as hell, guess I’ll try again tomorrow.

Early morning seems to be the best bet for success, within the first hour or so.
