Paperwork

On a recent thred, I noticed someone said that once they are paid, they shred the conformation order. Is this the norm? Am I being too ---retentive?

Hi
I keep all my confirmations in separate file folders for each company. I wouldn't shred them. I was always taught (working admin for 15 years) that you should keep paperwork like that for at least 2-3 years... Just in case!

It would be advisable to hold the paperwork for the statute of limitations period in case their are any problems that might arise.

Oh, you're probably not being too much of a stickler, Grayce. Rule of thumb: Just don't retain anything really significant to the loan. Which is to say, I guess, that you should be sort of a...well...how can I say it?....sort of a null retentive.
