Complaint narrative:
I would like to follow up and express my deep concern and frustration regarding the ongoing issues with late account openings and charge offs, despite our repeated attempts to rectify these matters.

The persistent occurrence of late account openings not only disrupts our operational efficiency but also reflects poorly on our organization 's commitment to providing timely and reliable service to our customers. Additionally, the presence of charge offs poses significant financial implications for both our organization and affected individuals.

I urge you to conduct a thorough review of our account opening procedures and systems to identify any underlying issues or deficiencies that may be contributing to the persistent delays. It is essential that we implement robust controls and enhanced monitoring mechanisms to ensure that accounts are opened in a timely manner and in accordance with regulatory requirements. 

Additionally, I encourage you to prioritize customer communication and support throughout this process, providing clear guidance and assistance to those who have been impacted by late account openings and charge offs. Transparent and timely communication regarding the steps being taken to address their concerns is crucial in restoring trust and confidence in our organization.
