I’m one of those that have, and your advice above is spot on. They’ve always done the right thing by me, and at least 4x that I remember, possibly 5.

I don’t think there’s an official policy that they have to, but I’ve certainly never been denied it. They know there’s a problem, but they never fix the root cause…
