c-41 Black and white film

I have used the Kodak T400 CN film and have had it commercially developed using color paper to get a very clean sepia toned portrait. I am extremely pleased with the result, but when I went to purchase more film, the woman behind the counter told me they had been notified by their supplier that this film should be sent away for proper black and white development as they're finding degeneration of the negatives after 5 years. Has anyone else heard about this at all? I like being able to see my pictures quickly and at reasonable cost, and right now don't have access to a darkroom.
