Somewhat similar for me. Last Oct I applied, then in Dec they charged $10.00 to my Master Card account (proof positive of receipt by the CFC). Finally got it in June after repeated phone calls. But they couldn't say they didn't get it because of my Master Card bill. I would hope that both the Police and CO's would be soft on this in AB. Are they going to ask for PAL's/POL's/FAC's of everyone in addition to all the licenses and tags this season? I don't know.
