Need to cancel a remark urgently

My son got 1 mark away from an A* in his English literature GCSE and an English teacher I spoke to on results day said he would put in for remarks. He has since told me he put both of his papers in. I've now found out by looking at raw to ums converter, that he got full ums in 1 of the exams so need to have the remark cancelled for that 1 paper. The exam officer won't reply to any of my emails, so I'm very concerned. I rang a AQA but they said it has to go through exam officer. I'm not sure what else I can do.

Yes probably for the child's sake. I also want get his chemistry remarked as he's 1 mark off A* in that as well. I haven't asked yet as I want to see what his teacher says as they may put in for that automatically. It's so annoying when they are so close to the next grade in a few subjects. He's 1 and 2 marks off in 4 subjects.

We also have an issue with computing where he was given an A in a controlled assessment which has now come back as a D. The school haven't been told that they were moderated down, so it's looking like his teacher lied about what he got. It's happened with others in his class. He worked so hard to get an A in the exam with poor teaching, for the controlled assessments to bring his overall grade down to a C. His computing teacher has now left, was only at the school for a year!

Ah well DD's school wouldn't ever had done anything for the sake of the child. The main reason why she is going elsewhere for 6th form.
