Hi,

My electricity provider is charging me too much and it seems that I will have to under go some litigation with them to sort out the issue.

My citizenship is due next June so wondering if this dispute could have any implications?!!

Thanks.

abc111,

You need not worry too much about it. But you will need to disclose. As Per the Guide AN

3.8 – 3.9 You must give details of all civil judgments which have resulted in a court order being made against you as well as any civil penalties under the UK Immigration Acts. If you have been declared bankrupt at any time you should give details of the bankruptcy proceedings. (Your application is unlikely to succeed if you are an undischarged bankrupt).

Unless you have done anything wrong that can result in a criminal charge/verdict against you, relax.
cheers

See Question 19 of the Good Character FAQ (click) avoid a CCJ by contacting one of the charities mentioned in the FAQ. Also, apply to the British Gas Energy Trust (click) and ask for help to clear fuel debt.
