Reducing this all to the prime essence, of the problem.
It seems NSI hires data entry operators that lack the
discipline to ask the correct questions for a record update,
and get into personality squabbles, with annoyed customers.

This all could be done by process expediters right at the time
you phone in, to end this year long battle of registration annoyances.
