Wow, I HATE customer service

So I recently ordered DSL and DirectTV though ATT and for some inexplicable reason my name is correct on my DirectTV account but they have me as "Pauline" on my DSL stuff. I have no idea how this happened as I think I spelled my name 15 times for the rep and the bill is bundled, but hey, it happens. I HATE calling customer service, so I thought I would take advantage of the chat support ATT offers. Apparently this was not a good idea.

Prior to being connected, I entered my name and the cause of my issue: Incorrect name on account. Here is what followed:

All of the mail I have received says "Pauline" and that is not my name

THe mail I have received regarding my new DSL account is addressed to "Pauline Stocks." My name is actually "Colleen Stocks." It rhymes so I guess the rep wrote it incorrectly when I signed up
