    No you don't get a letter when you are automatically discharged. It is up to you to clean up your files. If you write to the old OR's office then they usually will write a letter to sa you are discharged on headed paper. As it is a while ago they may ask you to pay around £25 to go into the archives to check your details, which is cheaper than the official court certificate.

    As far as I can tell just about everyone will accept that letter in lieu of the £60 court certificate.

    this is the clean up thread
