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.

Conversation

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 coverage anymore.

Agent

I can help with that. Could you tell me your name or customer ID, and if you know it, the policy number for the auto policy you'd like to cancel? That'll let me pull up your account and make sure cancelling it won't affect anything else you have with us (like a bundle or umbrella policy).

Sure. I'm Priya Anand, and my email on file is priya.anand@example.com. I don't have my policy number handy, but that should be enough to find me.

I found it — policy POL-ca-masked-auto-p_auto, your AUTO policy (currently ACTIVE, tier AUTO:EVERGREEN, running through 2026-03-10). Good news: nothing else on your account (no umbrella or bundle) depends on this policy, so it's clear to cancel on its own.

Just to confirm before I proceed: you'd like me to cancel this auto policy effective now, correct? Note that cancelling doesn't automatically calculate any refund — if you're due one for the unused term, that would be handled separately (let me know if you want me to check on that).

Yes, cancel it effective now, please. And yeah, if there's a refund coming for the unused months, I'd appreciate knowing about that — but go ahead and process the cancellation first.

Your auto policy POL-ca-masked-auto-p_auto has been cancelled. ✅

On the refund question — I checked, and I don't see a specific pro-rata refund calculation tool on my end for auto cancellations (unlike life/health, which have a defined free-look refund, auto cancellations here aren't automatically prorated by this system). Here's what I can tell you from your billing history:

  • You paid $122.52 on 2025-03-10 (covering the policy from 3/10 through roughly 4/10).
  • A second installment of $122.52 was scheduled for 2025-04-10, but shows as not yet paid.

Since you're cancelling as of today (2025-06-01), any refund for unused time from your last paid period would need to be calculated by our billing/accounting team based on the exact days remaining — that's outside what I can process directly here. I'd recommend contacting billing support to get the exact prorated refund figured and issued; I don't want to quote you a number without their proration engine confirming it.

Is there anything else I can help you with today?

No, that's helpful — I'll reach out to billing if needed. Thanks for getting the cancellation done.
