How to get pen ink out of white jumper?!

It’s a white polyester and cotton jumper. So far I have tried hairspray, alcohol, Vanish stain remover, washing up liquid and I even used my extra strong fabric stain remover which isn’t for use in clothes but I was desperate!
It’s been through the wash about 7 times now and STILL won’t come out. I’ve tried scrubbing with a toothbrush and just blotting.

Please someone help, I love this jumper but I can’t wear it 😪

There's a Doctor Beckmann ink stain remover I think? Or nail polish remover?

Have you tried The Pink Stuff? It's made by Star drops. I wet stubborn stains and sprinkle the granules on top. Leave it to work. Occasionally checking and moistening the stain as needed. I've had success with stubborn stains using this method

Nail varnish remover should do it or lighter fluid. When I worked in a ladies dress shop, we relied on both to remove stains from stock.
