Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem

Subissue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Consumer Complaint: I am writing to express my deep dissatisfaction and frustration regarding the persistent issues and multiple unsuccessful attempts to rectify the delayed opening of my accounts with Credit Bureaus. Despite my continuous efforts to resolve this matter, the issue remains unresolved, causing significant inconvenience and concern. I initiated the account opening process with your institution, and unfortunately, I have encountered repeated delays. Despite my diligent compliance with all required procedures, submission of necessary documentation, and adherence to your institution 's policies, the accounts remain unopened. The prolonged delay is causing disruption to my financial plans and has created undue stress. I have made several attempts to address this issue by contacting your customer service department, providing additional information as requested, and patiently awaiting a resolution. Regrettably, these efforts have not yielded the desired results, and the matter persists, impacting my confidence in your institution 's ability to provide timely and efficient service. Enclosed, please find a detailed record of my interactions with your institution, including reference numbers and specifics of each attempt made to resolve this issue. I kindly request you to review this information comprehensively and take immediate action to expedite the opening of my accounts. As a prospective customer seeking to establish a relationship with your institution, the current situation falls short of the expected standard of service. While I understand that challenges may arise, the repeated delays and lack of communication are unacceptable. I request that you prioritize the resolution of this matter promptly and provide clear communication on the steps being taken to ensure the timely opening of my accounts. If my concerns are not addressed within the specified timeframe from the date of this letter, I may have no choice but to explore alternative banking options and escalate this matter to relevant regulatory authorities. I am asking for your assistance to correct these late open accounts in my credit file : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX
