I applied for my unrestricted LTC in Springfield Mass on 7/15/17, to only get a letter from SPD a week later denying my request due to an incident 21 years ago when i was 15, to make a long story short i was found innocent through a jury trial and have had numerous jobs that run a thorough backround/Cori and never had an issue, so I pulled all documentation and went to file an appeal, $200 the courts charged me to file, i had to draft up my own response due to there being no standardized form for this, (talk about them not making it easy) then pay another $100 to have the PD served by the sheriffs dept. And get a court day to appeal the decision on 10/25/17, so 3 months have gone by, here it is now a day before my hearing and I get a call from a spfld police capt saying I do not have to go to the hearing they realized there was a mistake and that they were reopening my application and not only that but they approved my unrestricted LTC, so needless to say it has been an ordeal, but in the end it's paying off
