Hello, Thank you for reaching out to EverBright! Unfortunately, we are not authorized to upload and attest a call on your behalf. Welcome Calls must be uploaded to the platform by going to Operations > All Tasks > Welcome Call. The welcome call must be uploaded as an audio file, then toggle the Attestation, and you will have completed uploading the welcome call. Please contact us if you require further assistance. You may contact us at support@goeverbright.com or 833-830-0475 or Live Chat on the platform. Thank you. | |
A person who is not the signee/cosigner is contacting Support to complete the WC. | Respond/Advise:
Unfortunately, a welcome call must be completed by a signee of the financial agreement. In the event the signee or co-signer is unable to complete the welcome call, a new workflow would need to be generated.
Lamentablemente, el firmante del acuerdo financiero debe realizar una llamada de bienvenida. En caso de que el firmante o cofirmante no pueda completar la llamada de bienvenida, será necesario generar un nuevo flujo de trabajo. Important: This includes POAs (Power of Attorney) |
