Bank Statement is killing me mently

1) Bank Statement Issues: I have original bank statement missing for the three months period. When I requested the bank statements from the Barclays they send me on a plain paper and a covering letter with reference number that was also on a plain paper. But I wasn't satisfied and went to the bank to ask them to stamp and signed them, they refused to stamp it saying that they were not allowed. After hearing this I logged a complain with the bank manager. Week after logging a complain I got a call from Barclays customer service team giving there reason, they told me that



"they are not allowed to stamp customer printed statements as in the past they have being incidents evolving faked bank statements. After arguing for a while they agree to send a bank statement on an official bank Letter Head"


I received this statement on official bank letter head with no covering letter. This statement is in different printing format than other statements but have all details.



My Question from you experts is:


Is this bank statement valid?

Can I use this statement for my Tier 1 Application?



Please all expert comment on this issue. Any genius help will be really appreciated.

what do you mean by "the bank statements are in a different printing format"?

Is your's an in-country application? what is your current VISA status - not relevant but just want to know.

i;am on post study visa and when i say different format i ment to say the format they send you copy statements which are different from regular bank statements.

you say it has all the details (so dont worry about the format. Every bank has the right to issue data on their company formulated format). And if it is on the Barclays bank stationary (logo / address / phone # printed ont he paper), then it holds good.
