Complaint narrative:
I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to express my continued dissatisfaction with the handling of my recent request to correct late open accounts and remove the charge off from my account. 

The second attempt to rectify these matters has been as ineffective as the first. Despite the assurances provided by your representatives, the late open accounts persist, and the charge off remains on my record. This prolonged and inadequate resolution process has caused me significant distress and financial hardship. 

As a loyal customer, I expected a more efficient and proactive response from your company in addressing this matter. The failure to promptly correct the late open accounts and remove the charge off has not only impacted my creditworthiness but has also eroded my trust in your company 's ability to fulfill its obligations to its customers. 

I urge you to take immediate and decisive action to rectify this situation. I request that you expedite the process of correcting the late open accounts and removing the charge off from my record without further delay. Additionally, I expect transparent communication regarding the steps being taken to address this issue and prevent similar occurrences in the future. 

Furthermore, I believe it is reasonable to request compensation for the financial difficulties and stress caused by this oversight. I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves and provide me with a satisfactory resolution promptly. With this, I am asking for your assistance to remove or correct these accounts in my credit file : 1. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : {$36000.00} - It seems that the following information reported is incorrect : account number, payment status, and date open. Get it right immediately ; otherwise, update the account from my report.

4. XXXX XXXX XXXXBalance : {$460.00} - I requested an investigation and the removal of the charge-off status. No changes were made. No investigation was conducted at all.

5. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Balance : {$0.00} - The limit to this account was a fraction of the amount due it as stated. That is utterly unfathomable!
