TS&R Scripting


Card on File - Speaking with Contract/Card holder

“[caller name] I see you have a card on file, with the last 4 numbers of [XXXX].

May I use that card to process your payment?”

Caller name must match Card Holder

Card on File OR Card entered by Link
Does Not Match Caller

“I see we have a card on file for <Card Holder Name>, are they available to come to the phone and authorize the payment?”

"I see the card entered is for <Card Holder Name> are they available to come to the phone and authorize the payment."

"We must speak with the cardholder to process a payment."

Card Capture Link
(Not using card on file)

“[caller name] for your protection, I am able to send you a secure payment link via text to capture your payment information. 

May I send to the cell number ending in {xxxx} ?
For your security, please do not read the card details out loud."

"I can also send a link via Email, may I send to email {@xxxx} now?"

If email sent, advise customer to click on the Update Payment Information Link inside the email. 



Customer Accepts Link

“I will stay here on the line with you while you enter your card details.”

Customer Driving:
Direct to MyAccount (Only if a valid email address on file)

“For your protection I would like to send you a secure payment link via text or email.

I understand you are driving, would you like to go to MyAccount and update this information at a later time?”

Customer unable to enter card details

“[caller name] you were unable to successfully enter a payment method using our secure link.

If you like, I can attempt to manually enter the card details for you or you can visit MY ACCOUNT, our self-service portal, to update your payment information later.”
