What should I keep when correcting a rejected submission?

Sources checked:

THE DIRECT ANSWER

Preserve the submitted version, rejection notice and the actual correction and resubmission records. Track what changed and why.

Make the filing history traceable

Use the current applicable instructions rather than guessing the defect from a returned envelope. Do not alter the first submission’s date or present the corrected package as if it had been accepted earlier.

If the original itself is ambiguous or inconsistent with other records, explain and investigate that issue. Keep the actual hours, positions and payroll evidence clear and consistent. Preserve every model with date, author, inputs, methodology, investor count, and sources. An explanation should state whether the appraisal supports a contributed asset, collateral history, project context, or something else. A share buy-back is proved by the agreement, the corporate resolutions, the valuation and the instalment payments as they appear in bank records. A vague request for “all old records” often misses the decisive transaction. The common mistake is correcting only the spelling in a cover letter while bank evidence still points to an unexplained recipient. Write a dated narrative that walks through these records in order, and leave adjectives out of it.
