Is it safe now to shred/burn all paperwork .
We received our paper c/c,s today, Aperture took 3 months to complete was that not too bad
I have kept all paperwork from day one all I /E,s photocopied these were very helpful when the anniversaries came round, the box on top of the wardrobe became heavier and heavier, might I need any of it in the future?, it was a bit of a slog but I didn't expect easy Just possible and it was. Many thanks to all on the forum for your advice.

To be perfectly honest Freda - I'd keep it for a while longer in case you need case references to tidy up credit references.

We still have all of ours even though we completed a couple of years ago.

Well done on getting that letter!

Well done Freda. I have all my paperwork in a box, currently in the shed, but en route to the loft, where it will live.

Congrats Freda. I put all mine in a box, sealed it up and put it in the attic. Made a few copies of my CC and put them in a folder that is kept in the fire safe. Not needed any of the paperwork, but well prepared if ever the need arises.

I do think it's best to keep some record, mine is all in the safe, not sure how long I'll keep copies for. I may scan it one day and save PDF's of the documents for any future reference but for now, I'm not ready to let it go.
IVA final payment left the bank on the 26th January 2013...looking forward to a debt free future.

I vote keep it. You may have issues with credit etc in the future and need to dust off the CC.
