Hello,
I am following up on this request. I have paid the fees assessed, but have not received any update or records. Is there an estimate of when I may be able to receive the records I requested?
Thank you,

Hi Annita - I have attached the letter the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension sent you in July explaining where to send your payment and who to make it payable to. You sent a check to the Minnesota State Patrol, which is not part of the BCA.
I have also attached the letter we sent to you in August explaining that we need a check correctly made out to MN BCA in order to process your request. Along with that letter we returned the check you made out to the Minnesota State Patrol.
We will process your request upon receipt of payment made out to MN BCA, and sent to the BCA per the instructions in the July 18, 2018, letter.
Thank you,
Jill Oliveira

Hello Ms. Oliveira,
Thank you so much for your message and many apologies for the confusion. We'll place a new check in the mail ASAP; if you could either send back to us the wrong check or confirm that it has been destroyed, that would be greatly appreciated.
Best wishes,
