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 hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with the repeated attempts to rectify the late opening of my account with your institution. I opened an account with your branch and unfortunately, I have encountered several issues that have not been adequately addressed. Despite my best efforts to resolve this matter through various channels, including phone calls and in-person visits to the branch, the late opening of my account persists. I have attached copies of the relevant documents, including the account opening paperwork and receipts, for your reference. I initially opened the account and was informed that it would be active within a specific timeframe. I made multiple follow-up calls to inquire about the status of my account. Each time, I was assured that the issue would be resolved promptly. I visited the branch in person to seek assistance, but unfortunately, the problem persists. I understand that issues may arise, and I am willing to cooperate to resolve this matter amicably. However, the lack of progress and communication regarding the status of my account is both frustrating and concerning. I kindly request that you investigate this matter promptly and provide a detailed explanation for the delay. Additionally, I expect a clear timeline for the resolution of this issue. I believe that transparency and effective communication are essential in maintaining a positive customer relationship. If this matter is not addressed within the specified timeframe from the date of this letter, I will be left with no choice but to escalate my complaint to the appropriate regulatory authorities. I am asking for your assistance to correct this late open account in my credit file : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX
