  • Patent number: 6819748
    Abstract: A method and system for menuing on a voice response unit (VRU) or the like that avoids creating customer confusion on low volume calls that results in customer service representatives having to spend time clearing up that confusion without otherwise adversely affecting the system. For example, a menu for non-bankruptcy reaffirmation account and the like is included in the menus of a credit card VRU system. The menu and its sub-menus eliminate the options of balance transfers and credit limit increases that are inapplicable to those customers and result in an inordinate number of lengthy conversations.
    Type: Grant
