[QUOTE="Fujifilm, post: 786360, member: 22250"] My situation is slightly different, I received a letter in August to say that my certificate was about to expire. So I filled in the form and posted it with a covering letter to my doctor and I still have the covering letter. As far as I was aware it was done. My Mum asked me last week if I had a certificate because she had read about the fines. So today I phoned them to enquire why no certificate had been sent, they said they had no record of a form being sent in by my doctor! They made note on the system that I had called. Today I went to the doctor filled in another form. The chances are I am now going to get fined for not having a valid certificate for six months. Even though as far I was concerned the Doctor had sent it. The nice lady on the phone told me it was my responsibility to have a valid certificate and proof that I had filled in a form and given it to the doctor was not enough! My suggestion to everyone is do not rely on your doctor sending the form, send it yourself recorded delivery. Although it appears even that is not enough you will still get fined. [/QUOTE]
