I’m sorry to hear about this, MsRR. 

After having a look into our system, I can see you already have an open ticket about this, which was logged by my colleague Jay. 

He’ll have a look into your request and further assist via email. I’ve also left him an internal note for you. 

Let me know if you need something else in the meantime.
