Agreed ...
NotJustDreaming it is good you got it sorted, but you "played with fire" with the voluntary changes, despite what the agent indicated:
At the same time, because the agent said I could without charges, I moved the dummy dates for the remaining 14 segment to something more likely throughout next spring.
