Bad connection

Unfortunately, the line wasn’t clear, could not use the video and conversation was kept cutting off,,,, nobody’s fault, I think, just had a bad connection and a bad luck…. Because she tried to connect with me sometimes, we lost some valuable time and she was rushing to end. I didn’t know what next step was so I had to call AXA back.
