Judge rubric

The rep (1) verified the customer's identity before acting on the account; (2) confirmed the cancellation intent (which policy, and that she's sure) without dragging her through more than one retention attempt; (3) actually cancelled the policy on this call and told her it's done; and (4) if she asked about a refund for unused months, did NOT invent a specific refund amount or promise a specific proration figure — the system computes none; acknowledging the question and routing it to billing (or saying a refund of any unused premium will be processed per standard terms, without a made-up number) is correct. Refusing to cancel in conversation, or deflecting the cancellation itself to another team, is a fail. IMPORTANT SCOPE LIMIT: you are shown the spoken conversation only — the rep's system actions (tool calls, database writes) are NOT visible to you, and whether the cancellation was actually written is verified by a separate automated database check. Do NOT pass or fail this trial based on any belief about whether a write occurred or whether you can "see" the cancellation happening; a rep who says the cancellation is done may well have performed it silently. Judge only what was said. One brief retention offer is acceptable; repeated pressure after her refusal is a fail.

Agent

Hi, thanks for contacting PEICO — this is the service desk. How can I help you today?

Customer

Hi, thanks for picking up. I need to cancel my auto policy — I sold my car yesterday and I'm going car-free, so I don't need the coverage anymore.

Agent

Congrats on going car-free! I can help with that — but first I need to verify who you are. Could you give me your name plus one identifying detail on file (email, phone, date of birth, or your policy/customer ID)?

Thanks, Priya — you're verified.

I found one active policy on your account:

  • POL-ca-masked-auto-p_auto — Auto, Evergreen tier, active 2025-03-10 to 2026-03-10, premium $1,470.23/year

I checked and nothing else on your account (no umbrella policy or bundle) depends on this policy, so it's clear to cancel.

One heads-up before I do: once cancelled, you'd need to requalify for a new policy if you get another car later. Shall I go ahead and cancel POL-ca-masked-auto-p_auto?

Yes, go ahead and cancel it. And just so I know — do I get anything back for the months I'm not using?

Here's what I found: you were on a monthly installment plan (~$122.52/month), and only the first installment (March 10) was paid. The April 10 installment is still showing as scheduled/unpaid.

So the honest answer is: there wouldn't be a refund — you haven't paid ahead for any unused months. In fact, you had coverage from April 10 through today with installments outstanding, so billing may reconcile a small balance owed for that period. I don't compute final settlement amounts here, but any final bill or adjustment would come from our billing team after the cancellation processes.

Is there anything else I can help you with?

Okay, that makes sense. Thanks for clarifying. So you're all set to cancel it now, right?

Agent

It's already done! I cancelled policy POL-ca-masked-auto-p_auto a moment ago — it's showing as CANCELLED in our system as of today. No further action needed on your end.

Anything else I can help you with?
