Android text thread contact number error

After trying to find an answer to this for months I decided to make a post. After converting my contacts from my old Windows Mobile Phone to a Note 3 I have exactly one contact with an issue. The issue is only in the text thread and is a problem when I try to send a text to the contact from the preexisting thread. The contact number at the top of the screen (below the name) has a letter in front of the number for some reason. The letter is not present if I go into the contact or if I export the address book to a spreadsheet through Gmail or Microsoft Live. I tried deleting the contact from Gmail and Live to see if it will start a new thread or fix the error, but it does not. The issue is not present when I create a new text to send to the contact so long as I am not doing it from the preexisting thread, but then everything ends up in the preexisting thread instead of a new thread.
Hopefully someone here can walk me through a backdoor way of editing a text thread to fix this issue with the random letter in front of the contact's number so I can have regular text conversations with this contact without deleting the entire thread and message history.

Any suggestions? Maybe there is another location to post?

Nothing? This has never happened before?

Bump. Is anyone out there? Any suggestions on where to look for the answer?

Is there a moderator that is able to help guide me in the right direction if this should be posted somewhere else?

From the stickies I think this should be moved to Q&A. If I'm reading this right... Have you exported the text thread? That may clean up the database of bad characters. Also search your Gmail contacts for stray data. There might be some oddball associations that need to be deleted or merged.

Help!
I really could use some advice on this matter as I am yet to find a solution. If this thread needs to be moved is there a way to move the thread without making a new one?

[Q] Facebook Messenger 2 accounts

I need the facebook messenger to open with facebook 2. Someone help? http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/facebook-2-facebook-accounts-phone-t3039343

First, this is not a forum to post questions about apps. It IS a forum for developers and users alike to post apps, games, etc. Second, your question is probably best answered in the thread you linked in your post.

"Contact doesn't exist" bug on Contacts app

Would like an answer from the general questions crowd - as stated above.
I'm getting this bug with the Contacts app on the note 10s with MIUI 12.5.15 Global (which I assume is stock Google version).
To reproduce easily:
*choose a contact with no photo;
*edit to add a photo;
*view same photo it will error put with "contact doesn't exist message"
Curious if this happens elsewhere and if so what was your solution? Any solution?
I've Asked in the note 10s forums but no replies to that thread yet, so I'm trying it here in the general questios crowd.
My temp solution is to use a 3rd party contacts app, but I'm curious why this happens with the stock android version on my phone.
