    Thank you for the opportunity to address the complaint filed by Mr. **** *********.

    We would like to assure you that we have been actively working to resolve the issue raised and have consistently communicated with the customer throughout this process.

    After transitioning to our new platform, *********************************** issues with missing courses and associated ***s. Due to the complexity of this transition, his account required manual adjustments. We have made significant progress, and we are in the final stages of resolving the issue. Specifically:
    Manually Added Courses: His courses were promptly added to his new dashboard.
    Restored Progress: His progress tracker has been fully updated, enabling him to continue his lessons without interruption.
    Manual Upload of ***s: We are in the process of manually uploading the *** tab books for his courses, which will be completed shortly.

    Throughout this process, we have maintained consistent communication with Mr. **** *********. He has acknowledged our updates and expressed appreciation for the progress made. His feedback demonstrates that weve been responsive and transparent at every stage.

    While we understand the frustration caused by this transitional period, we believe the complaint may have been filed prematurely, as we have diligently addressed his concerns. Given the manual nature of the required fixes, the process has taken some time, but we are confident that everything will be completed without further delay.

    We kindly request your understanding, as we believe weve gone above and beyond to resolve the issue. We are committed to ensuring the customers satisfaction and remain open to addressing any further questions or concerns he may have.


    Thank you for your attention and consideration.
