I have had this issue, and when complaining about it to friends, several people have said the same happened to them. It’s a real issue for us because the CPA happened to have passed away since then, so we only have part of the documentation. We should have enough proof, but it’ll take a lot of time and some money to simply prove our innocence in this Kafkaesque system.
It seems they could have an entire racket of purposely “losing” records and seeing if people have proof or just pay again out of pure fear.
