Woman Finally Gets Rightful Revenge Against Her Leech Of An Ex-Husband After One Helpful Phone Call From Customer Support
"Now that’s service."
A customer support call turned into an unexpected revenge story when one woman discovered her ex-husband was still causing trouble long after their breakup.
She had been getting charged for a subscription she never asked for, and the call center worker on the other end of the line realized the problem went far beyond a billing issue. The ex had cheated, divorced her, tried to take what he could, and then vanished, but his trail was still tied to her account.
One helpful phone call gave her something she had been chasing for a long time, and the timing could not have been better.
Here's how the story from this subreddit started
boyinblack13xOP was working in a call center when a client called because there was some suspicious activity on her account
boyinblack13xThe suspicious activity was a charge for a subscription from the company OP was working for
boyinblack13x
The client explained to OP that she didn't even have the services she was being charged for and didn't even know that they were available in her area
boyinblack13x
It was her ex-husband who cheated on her, divorced her, tried to take everything he could from her, and then went off to ghost the client
boyinblack13x
That is where the call took a sharp turn.
At this point, OP clearly did not like the ex-husband, but they couldn't do anything but downgrade the subscription since it would still cost the client to cancel
boyinblack13x
The client disregarded the offer for a while when she heard that OP had the ex-husband's address
boyinblack13x
It turns out she and her lawyer had been working to locate the husband, but no one from his side wanted to help her
boyinblack13x
The client tried her luck and asked OP if they could provide the address, and because it was still her account, OP agreed to provide everything
boyinblack13x
That was all she needed.
In the end, the client got her revenge and the address she had been looking for, all because OP did a great job

People in the comments were happy for the client, knowing how expensive lawyer fees can be

Some commenters were just glad the call ended in her favor.
This is the same kind of stress as the friend who bailed on helping during a family emergency, then expected forgiveness.
OP was also efficient in delivering everything

The Redditors, in turn, were pretty impressed by how well OP handled it

They handled it well and were happy to help the client

When OP saw an opportunity to help the client, they immediately took it

You're paying both the lawyer and the private investigator if this is the case. Also, add to that the subscription you couldn't cancel

It was surprising that OP explained all of that and provided the client with what she truly needed in just a few minutes

OP explained, though, that if you included the regular elements in customer support calls, then it might have lasted like regular ones
boyinblack13x
A lot of Redditors called OP different names, but in a good way

Even if OP wouldn't view themselves that way, the client would remember them for the rest of her life

The comments kept rolling in because people loved how cleanly this worked out.
This story is so popular that it's even a favorite of one of the Redditors who commented

Who here is waiting for the ex-husband to post on another subreddit about how he got caught?

Who knows, the client might even make one herself
IlGreven
There were Redditors who shared stories about how expensive it is to be in the client's situation

This one got cheated on too and ghosted
HorrorMakesUsHappy
They never got closure or... revenge
HorrorMakesUsHappy
It was literally a 'Bye, Felicia' moment

Sometimes, strangers who have empathy might be the key to helping people in need

At least this OP wasn't underhanded

Speaking as someone who's been ghosted, OP earns her admiration

Having the audacity to ghost someone when things can clearly be resolved can be considered a lack of bravery to do what is right. It shows how someone would rather escape a problem than face it.
In the case of the ex-husband, not only did he ghost the client, but he also created more problems for her. The client was lucky enough to stumble upon a call where OP was the one who answered.
Do you think we'll see future posts from either the ex-husband or the client? They might be the next famous side of the story in one of the subreddits.
