But they can be quite disorganized as Xyzzy related, so it may require persistence and patience (which of course is silly).

I find email the route for dealing with these that requires least total minutes of attention from me, but it can be slow. If you want it dealt with sooner rather than later, phone is the best route.
FWIW, I wrote a short description of what had happened, scanned both our upgraded and downgraded boarding passes, and sent it all off to 1k voice. Eventually I did get a response. I think I checked in twice in the interim and was told each time that they had a backlg.
