IRS screwed up my first stimulus checks

Claimed I checked a box showing someone could claim me as a dependent on my return. They were wrong. After getting no help from IRS I contacted my Congressman, who contacted the IRS. I eventually got a letter asking what my problem was, so I sent a copy of my return to an office on the west coast, showing their error, and soon the stimulus deposited in my account. I got 3 more letters saying they are working to resolve the issue. Hoping they do and I get more stimuli.
