Dear British Broadcasting Corporation,
Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.
I am writing to request an internal review of British Broadcasting Corporation's handling of my FOI request 'COpy of the most recent Ask Help Script for Custome Service Advisor'.
All the information that has been redacted is common knowledge to call centre advisors and isn't secret. How can you redact that and if any of the advisors were asked, they would be able to tell what the redacted information was, so this information is freely available, but you are hiding it. For example, if a customer called and asked how long they can stop mailings for, they would be told, but you are redacting the information.
A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address:
http://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/co...
Yours faithfully,
Nath

This is a copy of the help script used by Customer Service Advisors when you call TV Licensing and speak to someone. It has all the information available to them and is extensive, and will actually contain the information they are supposed to advise you on.
