Forgive a total newbie, I don't know how to edit my post?

My account has gone down by £906 today, so I guess they have taken the money.

Seems like they are taking now the money much quicker than before. It took them a week since they got my application, while in previous months I can see on average 14-20 days between application and the date of debit.

As long as the application processed at the same pace, I won't complain.

Seems like they they are deducting the fee within 7 to 10 days after they received the application regardless of the method they choose to apply, here I have calculated so far....mine was taken today ...
with the except of one application who apparently get his/her fee deducted in 5 days...
