Payment Decline For FLRO - Please Help

Post by rgayan1 » Thu Jul 23, 2015 11:40 am

Hi. I have applied for an FLRO application on 18th July and my visa suppose to expire on 19th July. However i have paid the NHS charges and when i called the bank they said Home Office tried to take the application fees from the bank and it has declined due to lack of funds this was casued by my phone bill taken the same day so there was no money for the visa application fee.

What will happen in this case please let me know

Have you now put adequate funds in the bank & advised the bank to expect a large payment request?

Have you contacted HO to explain the situation & ask them to retry claiming payment :?:

Do you have a copy of your application to prove you gave the correct authorisation to HO to request payment ?
ie all bank account details, amount, name, signature etc were completed in full on your payment slip?
- this is important :!:

Ref: http://www.gherson.com/news-articles/th ... roof-3239/
This is an impressive and extremely welcome development in the law. From now on, it seems, applications cannot simply be rejected as invalid by the UKBA on the basis of the assertion that it was not possible to obtain payment. The UKBA will have to provide proof that the application itself was invalid
Based on the above HO should give another chance to pay.

Yes i have put the funds now to the bank and acknowledged them.

I contacted my solicitor and they said we have to wait till a response from HO. I wonder if the solicitor telling me the right thing or not.

Makes sense, they should be writing to you.

Here is a similar case:

- and more about the difference between someone authorising a payment & having funds available in the bank:

It will really help if you have a copy of the payment form you sent to HO.
Good luck.
