Do you hold a UK passport ? If you do have one your questions do not arise beacuse the IO do not ask questions about your intentions on arrival to holders of GBR/EU/EEA passport holders on the "Blue" immigration control desk.

So just check in and do what you want to do.

Your financial circumstances show that you are owing money on your current account. If you owed a loan of £1200 thats a different case, but it shows ...
