Debt Management Plan and British Citizenship

Hello,

My citizenship is due in June 2015 but due to financial circumstances, I am going to debt management plan to pay off ny credit card debts. Does this affect my nationality application?

I found this on Gov.Uk website in Annex D,

6.2 Debt
The decision maker will not normally refuse an application simply because the
person is in debt, especially if loan repayments have been made as agreed or if
acceptable efforts are being made to pay off accumulated debts.
However, where a person deliberately and recklessly builds up debts and there is no
evidence of a serious intention to pay them off, the decision maker will normally refuse
the application.

Kindly comment on it.


Many thanks
Sidd

The size of the debt could matter but having repayment plans is something HO favorably looks at.

No. You need to complete the full 12 months before applying.

Hello,

Thanks for your reply.

Should I need to attach all the docs again, i.e. salary slips, IELTS, LIUK, proof of addresses?

Many thanks

Very unfortunate as passport is used to help prove you meet residency & absence requirements as well as ID.
It also helps prove you were in UK 5 years before date of application.

Suggest add note in additional info section of form to explain this matter.

Be prepared to provide alternate evidence now.

Did you report to the police and get a police ref when u lost your passport? If you did then u need attach that with your application and maybe write a cover letter or something of that nature.

She may apply independently if she satisfies the standard requirements.
