how to call customer service in english
Decide the outcome before you dial, then open with three pieces of information: who you are, what the problem is, and what you have in front of you. I am calling about a charge on my card that I do not recognize. I have my account number and the date of the payment.

If the menu or the accent defeats you, ask for a repetition and note the reference number while the agent waits: Sorry, could you repeat the last part? I did not catch the reference number. Asking twice is normal on a support call, and cheaper than calling back to explain everything again.
Write four things on one line before you dial: the reference or account number, the date, the amount, and the outcome you want. At the end of the call, ask for the agent's name and the reference number of the call, then repeat the next step back to them. A summary written during the call makes the second call much shorter if nothing has changed a week later.
