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.

Still got my Completion certificate and Initial/Final Report. I finished mine back in 2002 - there are all kept in a box

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.

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