I would like to make an appointment. I was on hold for 1 hour and 22 minutes today—no one answered.
Received info with someone else's info. All of there info, Name, DOB, Social, Address and phone number. And now can't get anyone on the phone after they send me some else's info and they possibly have all my info. I need direction on how to handle this.
