Good Character Requirement: Penalty Notice and others
Posted: Wed Feb 11, 2015 6:27 pm
Hi, First of all, I would like to thank all the contributors to this forum - I have always found it to be very informative and the contributors all very helpful.
Secondly, I would like some help with the Good Character Requirement.
Ok, my case - I will be eligible to apply for citizenship very soon. My problems started last week when I got a parking ticket (forgot my car and took a bus home), I paid the fines on time. Then in the same week fueled my car, forgot to pay for the fuel and drove off. I didn't remember until police came knocking on my door. Police advised me to go and pay, which I did instantly. I did ask them whether this is considered a criminal offence but they said as long as I paid back on time I shall be alright.
Could experienced contributors advise me on this case - have I breached the good character requirement? Shall I declare both of them in the application form and to the NCS?
