Thanks a lot for your reply... and my ease of mind. i still have many questions.
1. actually that time no one was there to guide us. we were saving up every penny that time to buy a house and couldnt afford another £95 more, else we would have fallen short of the deposit for the house, so we made a postal application. Moreover it was written that most applications are completed in 3 weeks and we were in no hurry. later i got to know that it takes more than that
2. Actually whenever i call and they put me on hold since they need to verify something i get very very anxious and think that maybe something is wrong.
why would they do that.. i almost get tempted to ask them.. will that be appropriate? it's like watching a 3 month long suspense rubbish..
3. When i made the application we were renting at the time. Since then we have bought this house and moved in. I have notified them of address change but havent told them that we are joint owners now. Do i have to do that as well?
4. From the last two times that i have called they have told me thatmy application is in the final stages of completion/consideration. what does that mean? what is the approximate status when they say this?
Sorry to bombard you with so many questions... but they keep coming up in my head.
Regards,
Sim
