    Thanks for the detailed reply, Romul. 
     
    Hmm. :thinking: I’d kindly suggest moving this discussion to email, due to sensitive and account-specific info that may be required so as to further investigate. In this case, I can contact you to your email address associated with your Forum profile. Would that be alright with you?
