Ms. Ardoin thought she had faxed the amendment and did not realize it had not been received. In May of 2010, she states she faxed the report, but did not call to confirm. When she was informed later that the amendment still had not been received, she states she faxed again and attemtped to get confirmation and could not. She states this will create a financial hardship.
