Scully Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 (edited) It states all terms and conditions to be met regarding transactions on both the SGC and FAC unless I'm mistaken. It's been a while since I've looked. To add to this; if it was last year and you've only just discovered you've boobed, just ring your FEO and come clean; they're human beings at the end of the day and if they have anything about them they'll understand it was a perfectly innocent mistake on your part. They are there to help, and not to jump on someone at every opportunity. Edited October 31, 2015 by Scully Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

796 Posted October 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 Thanks for your replys I intend to ring them first thing Monday when I read the notes on my license it states sales must be notified within 7 days but it doesn't say any thing about purchases also it states rfds have to notify the force that issues the ticket of the buyer even under different forces so is as clear as mud with its wording many thanks simon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
