P60 Query - Croydon

Hi,

I've got an appointment at the Croydon PEO in a couple of days. I was completely unaware that case workers regularly ask for P60s for all five years (it's not even mentioned in the application form!).

On reading a few threads on this forum, it does appear that it is something they routinely ask for. Unfortunately, I can't, for the life of me, find a couple of them (06-07 and 07-08). I was on a work permit for the first 2 years and been on a Tier 1 Visa since then.

I have bank statements covering the entire 5 year period. Will that suffice? Obviously, I don't have enough time to sort a letter from HMRC. At the Croydon PEO, are all documents checked and verified before the payment is made? Obviously I don't want to spend £2700 if the missing P60s is going to be a definite show-stopper.

I have payslips for that entire 2 year period, all electronic printed on plain paper, but only 1 year's worth stamped and signed by the employer (who I don't work with anymore).

Any advice and suggestions gratefully received.

Thanks

PS: Can the appointment be cancelled (with just 2 days notice) without too much grief?

Appointment can of coruse be cancelled but u will need to book another one for you which might be after some time!.

If you want peace of mind, cancel your appiontment and get anotehr one in 3-4 weeks. this will give u time to get HMRC letter.

That's exactly what I did. Have cancelled the appointment for Wednesday and will now rebook for another slot in about 3 weeks time. I've also requested for my tax history letter from HMRC for the missing two years to be sent out.

I feel like such an idiot for losing an important document as a P60 but in my defence, we've gone through two home moves in the last 3 years :D

Cheers
