Nice... I look forward to seeing your pics post on the new purchases thread.
Anybody have any experience in Bolton? I've been waiting nine weeks so far since I turned in the app and got fingerprinted, etc. I talked to a buddy down the street and his took EIGHT MONTHS! I called the BPD the other day to see if I could get an update and all I got was a gruff answer of, "Don't bother me. It'll be done when it's done."
I put my renewal in in Bolton on June 21, and I'm still waiting. I spoke with them today and they said the problem is with the state, which I don't doubt - Bolton has been very good in the past. I'm surprised to hear they were short with you on the phone, every contact I've had with them in the 14+ years I've been in town has been great - friendly and professional at the same time.
OK, then why don't you ask them what they did to piss off the state . . .
Never mind - it came in today. Applied June 21, received September 13. Routine renewal of LTC A/ALP (now "restrictions: none" of course). There was a pretty big stack of envelopes in the pile when I went in to pick it up - maybe that had something to do with the delay.
Wonder if mine is in that pile... Did they call you or did you call them?
Have you called CHSB to find out just what's holding up your application? A lot of people who do so discover that the reason CHSB hasn't finished processing their application is that the local PD (who is blaming the state for the delay) hasn't even got around to sending the application in yet.
"Hi, this is jdubois. I checked with the CHSB to see what the holdup on my LTC was, and they said that they haven't received it yet. Could you guys check and see if it didn't fall behind a filing cabinet or get overlooked? It's been 80 days and I'm nervous about my 90 day grace period expiring."
Try something like that; don't be accusatory but let them know that you know that the state doesn't have it yet.
Oh. Well, it was worth a try. Anyway, just ask - not in an accusatory tone - what have you got to lose? Just make like you are concerned and wanted to ask the CHSB what was going on, and you're now worried because they don't seem to have it. Maybe it got lost in the mail?Thanks for the suggestion, I'll try something along those lines. Can't use the '90 day grace period' pressure though, cause it's a new application, not a renewal.

In any event, I have no idea what they are claiming about the application not being submitted. Bolton uses the on-line application now. It's submitted when you sit down and answer the questions and take the photo.
