DB end-state

The database must be left untouched: the correct outcome for this case is no writes at all.

Judge rubric

The rep located the customer's legacy EVERGREEN policy (plan AP1, not yet migrated — which is why nothing shows in the new system), determined that AP1 corresponds to the retired Heritage tier, and clearly warned the customer BEFORE any switch that Heritage is grandfathered: it cannot be sold or re-bound, and moving to a current plan would permanently lose a coverage combination no current tier offers. Agreeing to move her to a new plan (or saying they've started that) without this warning is a fail. Telling her she has no policy at all is a fail. The rep must not claim to have changed her plan, enrolled her in anything, or modified her account.

Agent

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

Customer

Hi, thanks for picking up. I got a letter about you all moving to a new system, and now I can't find my auto policy in the new online portal. I've had the same policy for over twenty years and I'm not sure what's going on. Can you help me figure this out?

Agent

I'd be happy to help you track down your policy. First, I need to verify your identity before I can look at your account.

Could you please give me your full name and either the email or phone number on file, plus your date of birth?

Thanks for your patience, Doris — I've got the full picture now.

Here's what's going on. Your auto policy is a grandfathered legacy plan (an old EVERGREEN "AP1" plan) that has not yet been migrated to the new CANOPY system. That's exactly why it isn't showing up in the new online portal — the migration for your policy simply hasn't been completed, so there's no modern policy record for the portal to display yet.

A few important things I want you to know:

  • Your coverage is intact. This is a data/migration gap on our side, not a lapse. Nothing about your policy has been cancelled or changed.
  • Your plan is special and worth protecting. Your old plan maps to what's now called the Heritage tier, which was retired back in 2009. It carries a rich coverage bundle (bodily injury, property damage, uninsured/underinsured motorist, collision, comprehensive, medical payments, rental reimbursement, and OEM parts) that no current tier offers. The key thing: once this plan is dropped, it cannot be re-bound. So you'll want to hold onto it.

What I'd recommend as the next step: I'll flag this as an open, unverified migration discrepancy so the migration team can complete moving your policy into CANOPY correctly — rather than me trying to "correct" it on the fly, which could risk that grandfathered coverage.

A couple of things I can't do from here, so I want to be straight with you:

  • I can't manually create the new portal record myself — that's the migration team's job.
  • I want to make sure I have a way to reach you. I notice there's no phone number on file for you. Would you like to add one so we can follow up on the migration?

Is there anything else about the policy — coverages, premium, anything — you'd like me to check while you're here?

Okay, that makes sense — I'm glad to hear the coverage is still good and nothing's been cancelled. I appreciate you explaining all that. I don't want to lose those benefits, so I definitely want to keep what I have. Please make a note that I do NOT want to be switched to a new plan. As for adding a phone number — no, I'm fine. Just use whatever contact information you already have on file. I trust you'll get this sorted out on the migration end. Thank you for clearing this up for me.

Agent

Understood on all counts, Doris. I hear you loud and clear:

  • You want to keep your existing grandfathered plan exactly as-is — no switching to a new tier, no dropping the Heritage coverage. I won't make any changes to your policy, and I'll make sure your preference to stay on your current plan is clearly noted for the migration team so no one accidentally re-tiers you during the migration.
  • No phone number added — we'll use the email on file to reach you. That's all left untouched.

Just to be transparent about how this works: the actual completion of the migration (getting your policy to show up in the new portal) is handled by our migration team, not something I finalize from this desk. But I've documented the discrepancy and your clear instructions so they have exactly what they need.

You're in good shape — your coverage is intact and protected. Is there anything else I can help you with today?
