Important "Customer Change of Info Request/Changes" Escalation Process Update
If a customer contacts Customer Care and indicates that:
Their name has legally changed from what is listed in Catalyst
Their name in Catalyst is incorrect
Their social security number in Catalyst is incorrect
Their date of birth in Catalyst is incorrect.
Tier 1:
Step 1: Look for the customer’s ID information in CGM to see if we have the documents already with the correct information that the customer is asking to correct. (perhaps the information was mis-typed in error).
If we already have the document n CGM with the correct information – then a “Customer Info Request/Changes” escalation should be submitted indicating what is not correct – as well as indicating that the correct information is already in CGM. If this is the case, we do NOT have to ask the customer to send any “proof” of change to lldocs@standupwireless.com.
Step 2: If we do NOT have the correct information in CGM, then the customer should be informed to send their “proof” of change to lldocs@standupwireless.com.
The customer should also be informed to call/chat or email and let us know once they submitted their “proof” to lldocs@standupwireless.com. When the customer confirms that they sent their “proof” of change to lldocs@standupwireless.com – at this point a “Customer Info Request/Changes” escalation should be submitted – including that the customer has sent the “proof of change” information to lldocs.
If the customer should ask, the acceptable documents for “proof of change” are:
Name Change – we will need a copy of:
Legal Name Change Court Document
Marriage certificate
Divorce Decree
Social Security Number Incorrect – we will need a copy of:
Social Security card
Current year tax form that displays the full Social Security number
Print-out from SSA with name and full Social Security number
W-2 or 1099 form from employer showing name and full Social Security number
Date of Birth Incorrect – we will need a copy of:
Birth certificate
Government Issued ID
Drivers license
Once the customer submits the information to lldocs - that team will review the documents to make sure the “proof” is acceptable and will then send a ticket to Catalyst Support to make the change. If the customer asks how long for the change, please let them know 3-5 days from the time that we receive their information that they email to lldocs.
For any State to State address change
The customer needs to be immediately transferred to the Supervisor queue.
The Supervisor/Tier 2 will explain the process to the customer directly.
Deceased Customer:
If a third-party contacts Customer Care to inform that the account holder is now deceased – a “Customer Info Request/Changes” escalation” should be opened including the Caller’s name, relationship to the deceased person, and the date of death along with a request to close the account. (The Deceased Customer’s Account - IA status policy - will be updated shortly to reflect this new escalation category.)
A formal policy will be sent out in the near future regarding the “Customer Info Request/Changes” escalation category.

How to Format a Puerto Rico Address
Puerto Rico addresses are formatted in several different ways that can affect our ability to verify the address as provided by the customer. In such cases where the address is unable to be verified by Catalyst and/or USPS, the following should be considered.
Example 1 - Customer provides
Cond las Ampolas
Calle Amapoloas 123 apt 9
Carolina, PR 00979
The address should be altered to (per USPS verification)
Cond las Ampolas
123 Calle Amapolas, apt 9
Carolina, PR 00979
Example 2 - Customer provides
C3 Calle A
URB Mirador Universitario
Cayey, PR 00736
The address should be altered to (per USPS verify)
URB MIRADOR UNIVERSITARIO
C3 CALLE A
CAYEY PR 00736-5061
While Puerto Rico may not be a part of the contiguous/continental US, the address format is very similar- Number- Street-Street Type (Dr, Ct, Ln, Ave, Way, etc.), Apt # (where applicable)
City, State Zip Code
Ex. 123 Anywhere Ave, Unit 1401, Atlanta, GA 30309
Urbanization Code
These are codes used to denote an area, sector, or residential development within a geographic area. Commonly used in Puerto Rican urban areas, it is an important part of the addressing format, as it describes the location of a specific street.
Generally, the abbreviation URB is placed before the urbanization name.
Urbanization Name
Abbreviation
Altura(s)
ALT(S)
Barriada
BDA
Barrio
BO
Bosque
BOSQUE
If a Puerto Rico address cannot be verified by altering the format, ensure that we ask the customer to provide a USPS verified mailing address and update the shipping address for the customer once received.
TIP: Use Melissa Address data to help with validating Puerto Rico addresses.
Chargers/equipment
Important Puerto Rico Information -Google Pixel Phones with no chargers
Some Enrollment Representatives are distributing Google Pixel phones at In-Person events in Puerto Rico.
Some of these Google Pixel phones will come with chargers, and some will not come with chargers.
Therefore, if a customer from Puerto Rico with a Google Pixel on their account, contacts Customer Care and says/chats they never received a charger with their new phone received from an Enrollment Representative- we need to send them a free charger.
IMPORTANT REMINDER: Before creating an invoice - the Ship to Address MUST be updated.
These Google Pixel phones use the USB-C charger.
It is extremely important that the representatives select the correct charger and then use the $14.99 discount - so the charger is no cost to the consumer.
State and Territory abbreviations:
Remember that Alaska (AK) , Hawaii (HI) Puerto Rico (PR) are not part of the continental U.S.A!
