If I apply for ILR or Long residency would I loose my Asylum accommodation and asylum allowance as I am currently an asylum seeker and waiting for my interview for last 2 years. Meanwhile i have completed my 10 years and all of the time I was legal?? Can someone please tell me if any idea I cannot afford to loose my accommodation and allowance as no other source of income is available

Can ILR be refused if you are a bank defaulter? (Not by choice but due to the circumstances)

A civil court judgment against you, for example for non payment of debt, bankruptcy

You must not refuse an application only because a person is in debt, especially if repayments have been made as agreed or if acceptable efforts are being made to pay off accumulated debts.

However, where a person deliberately and recklessly builds up debts and there is no evidence of a serious intention to pay them off, you must refuse under character, conduct and associations grounds.

Declaration of county court judgments
In England and Wales a person may be handed a county court judgment (CCJ) for non payment of a debt. If the person is able to show that the money is not owed they can ask the court to cancel the judgment. Where the money is owed and it takes the person more than one month to repay the debt, the CCJ will remain on the Register of Judgments, Orders and Fines for six years.

An applicant who has been handed a CCJ must declare it on their application form as long as the CCJ continues to appear on the register. If the CCJ remains on the register but the debt has been paid off in full, the applicant must provide details of when the debt was cleared, or alternatively if paying in instalments, provide details of those arrangements, including the total amount paid to date.

An applicant is not required to declare a CCJ that no longer appears on the Register of Judgments, Orders and Fines.
