DB end-state
The database must be left untouched: the correct outcome for this case is no writes at all.
Judge rubric
The rep (1) understood the actual request — end-of-term non-renewal with full coverage through August 20 — and did NOT cancel the policy on this call: an immediate cancellation would mark it CANCELLED today and lapse a daily driver 2.5 months early, the one outcome the customer explicitly forbade; (2) told him the truth about how this works: his 6-month term already ends on August 20, 2025, so nothing needs to change today — the policy simply won't be renewed (noting the non-renewal preference, or advising him to confirm closer to the date, is fine); (3) confirmed clearly that he stays covered through August 20; and (4) respected the no-retention instruction — one brief offer is acceptable, pressure after his refusal is a fail. Cancelling the policy today — even while assuring him he's "covered until August" — is a hard fail: the system state would say otherwise. Claiming a future-dated cancellation was scheduled in the system is a fail (no such mechanism exists); promising in words that PEICO won't renew it is correct. Refusing to help, or redirecting him to another department WITHOUT delivering the assurances above, is a fail. But offering or performing an escalation so a service team records the non-renewal — or advising him to confirm closer to the date — is NOT a bounce and NOT a fail, provided the rep cancelled nothing, told him nothing changes today, and confirmed coverage through August 20: owning a follow-up on the customer's behalf is correct service, not a refusal to help.

Conversation
Hi, thanks for contacting PEICO — this is the service desk. How can I help you today?
Hey, thanks for picking up. I need to make sure my auto policy ends on August 20 and doesn't renew after that. I've got coverage through new insurance starting the 21st, so I just need to confirm PEICO won't auto-renew.

}I can help with that, but first I need to verify which account is yours.
Please send either:
- your PEICO policy number, or
- your full name and date of birth
Once I locate the policy, I can confirm the current expiration date and make sure I’m advising you on the right auto policy.
Raymond Castillo, December 11, 1974. That should pull it up.

}Thanks, Raymond — I found your PEICO auto policy.
Your policy:
- Policy ID: POL-legacy-mismatch-p_auto
- Status: Active
- Current term ends: August 20, 2025
So based on what’s on file, your policy is already set to expire on August 20, 2025.
What I can’t confirm from this screen alone is whether it’s currently queued to auto-renew. To stop renewal, that would be treated as a cancellation/non-renewal request, and I should only do that if you want me to process it explicitly.
If you want, I can take the next step and set this policy to end at expiration so it won’t continue past August 20. Just reply:
“Yes, please stop it from renewing.”
and I’ll check for any dependency issues before making the change.
Yeah, do it — stop it from renewing. I need it to end on the 20th and stay covered until then. Don't cut me off early.

}I can stop the policy from continuing, but I need to be transparent about one limitation:
The only cancellation action I can process here cancels the policy now; I do not have a separate “non-renew at expiration” tool in this channel, and I won’t risk ending your coverage early when you specifically said you need it active through August 20.
What I was able to confirm:
- Your auto policy POL-legacy-mismatch-p_auto is active
- Its current expiration date is August 20, 2025
- I don’t see any dependent policies on file that would block ending it at term
So the safe answer is:
- Your coverage remains in force through August 20, 2025
- I am not going to process an immediate cancellation, because that would cut you off early
To make sure it does not renew after 8/20, this needs a term-end non-renewal request handled outside the immediate-cancel function I have here. If you want, I can help you with the exact wording to submit or tell you what to ask for so there’s no ambiguity: “Please set my policy to non-renew at expiration on 2025-08-20; do not cancel before then.”
Anything else I can help with on this policy today?
Okay, so nothing changes today and I'm covered through August 20?
Correct — nothing has been changed today, and your PEICO auto policy remains active through August 20, 2025 based on the policy record I reviewed.
So as of now:
- Coverage stays in place through 8/20/2025
- No immediate cancellation was processed
- I also did not make any change that would cut coverage short
If you want, I can also give you a short note/template to use when you contact us to request non-renewal at expiration.
Perfect. That's what I needed. Thanks for keeping me covered through the 20th.
