Mr. Apple states that the Notice of Delinquency was sent to his former address; however, once received he immediately called this agency. A review of the database indicates that Mr. Apple contacted our agency on September 15, 2015 - the same day Mr. Apple signed for the Notice of Delinquency. Mr. Apple further states that he requested that a blank form be sent to him and because of the delay in receiving the form his disclosure statement was filed late. Our records indicate that a form was sent to him on September 17, 2015 and again on October 14, 2015.
