As Darren said, they increased the visa period from 24 to 27 months so that people could delay their travel by up to three months and still arrive in the UK in time to qualify for ILR by the time the visa expires. I think they're just being bloody awkward by asking you to send a fax and explain yourself. They're like little tin gods these embassy people, they just love to weild their little bit of power.

My husband told me that I spoke to a wrong person! Anyway, my husband think it's better to call the home office.
