Re: Account ending 4471
Dear Capital One,
I'm writing to request a one-time courtesy adjustment to my account. In March 2024, I missed a payment due to a temporary medical emergency that affected my ability to keep up with bills that month.
Since then, I've kept the account current and in good standing. I've been a cardholder for over four years without another late payment, and I'd sincerely appreciate your consideration in removing this isolated mark as a gesture of goodwill.
