Its called a retention department

I'm surprised the author hasn't heard of them.

Every time I try to switch providers, I end up in retention who try to convince me to stay with incentives and horror stories.

Try Comcast's retention department. They lie to you to guilt you into not leaving. Just canceled them this morning when I switched to FIOS.

Re: Its called a retention department

That is quite different then holding your phone # hostage, and calling you back to try and get you to switch back.
Almost all subscription services have retention programs, which go through the same "we're better"/"please don't leave us"/ "let me offer a better deal" scripts, because they find it effective.
If you are firm, and politly say "I'm not interested, please close my account" the process can be very quick.
