Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally address an ongoing issue with my accounts that remain unresolved despite multiple attempts to rectify the situation. I am a customer with your institution, holding an open account and having previously closed accounts with your company. 

It has come to my attention that there have been delays in the correction of late open accounts and the removal of late closed accounts from my records. Despite my numerous attempts to resolve these issues through various channels, including phone calls, emails, and in-person visits to your branch, the problem persists. 

As a responsible customer, I have always upheld my end of the agreement by ensuring timely payments and fulfilling all obligations outlined in the terms and conditions of my accounts. However, it is disheartening to experience such negligence on the part of your institution in addressing my concerns promptly. 

I request immediate action to rectify the following matters : Correction of late open accounts : I demand that any inaccuracies regarding late payments or discrepancies in my open accounts be promptly corrected. It is imperative that my account status accurately reflects my payment history and financial standing. 

Removal of late closed accounts : I insist that any closed accounts with erroneous late payment reports be swiftly removed from my records. These inaccuracies can have adverse effects on my credit score and financial reputation, and it is essential that they are rectified without further delay. 

I understand that errors can occur, but it is the responsibility of your institution to ensure prompt resolution and uphold the trust and confidence of your customers. I urge you to take immediate action to address these issues and provide me with confirmation of the corrections made. 

Failure to resolve these matters in a timely manner will compel me to escalate this complaint to the relevant regulatory authorities and consider legal action to safeguard my rights as a consumer.
