Me: I seem to be stuck in limbo. I thought I had the Free plan, but am
being told that I owe $199.88, so how may I get past this, so that I
may use Hootsuite?
Denea:
Hi Eric! Denea from the Hootsuite customer advocate team here. I am
happy to help with this!
Could you please confirm your Hootsuite account email address so I can
best assist today?
Me: Deleted
Denea: Thank you! One moment while I bring up your account.
Thanks for waiting, Eric! Taking a look at your account, I see that is
was automatically downgraded to Free 3/13/2017 following a non
payment. I can assist you with correcting this.
You wish to be on the Free plan moving forward and not Pro, is that correct?
Me: yes!
thanks!
Denea: You're welcome! I'll just be a few moments to make those
changes and I'll be back to confirm with you.
Me: ok
Denea: Thanks for waiting, Eric! I've removed that pending bill to
ensure you will not be charged. if you are logged into the account at
this time, could I ask you to please complete the downgrade to the
Free plan using these steps here: downgrade
If you encounter any issues or are not logged in at the moment, let me
know and I am happy to help!
Me: Is there supposed to be a link for "down-grade"?
Denea: Oh my apologies! help.hootsuite.com/hc/en-us/ar...
Looks like I need another cup of coffee this morning
Me: Yes, coffee is important!
Denea:
Me: Done. I'm back to being able to use the free version. Thanks!
Denea: You're very welcome Eric! Yes I can confirm your account is now
on our Free plan.

provided awesome help, and I may blog about it.
Denea: You've made my day, Eric! So glad I could help today

Me: Enjoy the rest of your day. Did you know Laura Hovak (sp) when she worked there?
Denea: I don't believe I did, the name doesn't ring a bell. She must have departed before I came on board.
Me: She as a/the community manager
