I would fight that charge for sure- did they issue you a copy of the incorrect papers? If so, that's an error on their part. They should never have issued them if they were not correct. Last fall, the AQHA sent me a hard copy of these papers and I about blew my top. They also wanted me to pay $50 for a corrected certificate and I immediately shut that down. Someone obviously didn't do their job inputting names correctly, so how is that my fault? After multiple calls trying to sort it out, one gal finally laughed and said yeah, this isn't acceptable and updated the papers right away.

Yes they issued me the papers - then I sent in DNA/5 Panel test which excluded the Sire on the papers.  I agree with you why should I have to pay $50 for the new certificate which will only have the correct sire on it when I already paid $25 to transfer him. Since I did all the legwork to find out who the correct stallion is they should be paying me or refunding the $100 I paid for them to "start an investigation".  I found breeder, I contacted breeder and continued to call AQHA to give THEM the correct information but they still want more money. 

Good luck. I only needed white markings changed and they gave me a big hassle with me calling and breeder. AQHA is a joke but since they have you by the Tatar's you don't have much choice.

Not DNA related but I am still waiting on papers for my yearling that I mailed back on February. A month ago they were apparently in "quality assurance". Why the heck is it taking so long?! Gah. 

Call them, ask them to send it to Print it's a computer click of a button for them.  Then you should get it in the mail in about a week.  I've had to do that before.  

Truer words never spoken...  requiring a stallion to be 5 panel tested and not a mare...  is washing the right hand and not the left... 

I haven't had any issues with this stuff but I am sitting here reading it shaking my head wondering what has happened to the AQHA

I've been told (and don't know how reliable the source is) that AQHA replaced their higher paid, knowledgable employees, with new people that they could pay less.  It's the corporate way, dontcha know.  That would explain a lot of the ineptitude. 

I'm in for another fight with AQHA just sent in papers for a mare and foal previous owners registered 3 month old filly as Palomino and she's 100% Cremello ... people working at AQHA should of realized it when pics were sent in to register her... So I decided to do the right thing change her color...
