Blog is certainly right that the landscape has changed especially with the misselling that has happened on some items.
I'm not sure where I would stand if this had happened to me but I have scanned all my documents that I had filed away longer than 6 years so have a digital copy. Would this be sufficient if another 'scanda' came up?0 -
Similarly to md458, the way I deal with this is to scan and OCR every document that comes through the letterbox and email and sort them in Dropbox as PDFs. I chuck the originals in a box file and never look at them again.0
