When your mortgage company demands $2100 for the property taxes that they fucked up and paid twice, it's no fun. Especially when all their customer service people are in India. Seriously, it's not like I can't get my disk drive to read my new first person shooter game - it's that they say I owe them a month's wages. Get some native english speakers. I'm just saying. ERRRg!

half the time their english is better than ours, and sometimes they're actually trained to affect regional american accents. the issue most often is colloquialisms and idiom.

don't you have a property lawyer you can sic on the company?

I think it's worked out. I'm not hating on them for being from India, it's just from a practical point of view, it's damn hard to understand people with accents especially when talking in technical terms and on a cell phone. Also, I don't think the call center half-way around the world will be great at faxing the travis county tax assessor's office to get a refund for me.
