Quick Question:

I have a CCJ that was issued to me in 09/2009 about a parking ticket and just detected that about 8 months ago when I wanted to send my application in. I was told by the council agent that I should try and get that paid or settled. Even though I was not the one driving the car at that time, I was the registered keeper of the car thus why my name was on the CCJ. I have called the court Northampton CCBC to enquire further and was told to contact the company that issued the PCN. I got in touch with the company and was told that the parking company does not exist anymore and they could only find the car registration number and nothing more so they are unable to take payments. It was £164 for the CCJ. Since the court and the defunct parking company are unable to take payments and I am in the middle of this mess, the Council agent called the home office and enquire more about and she asked me to send it and put note about it. I have also contacted the court again and was told to write to mcol@hmtcs.gsi.gov.uk to put the file before a district judge. Even though it will be 6 years next year to be written off, I am a little bit worried LOL. Does any one have any experience about this kind of issues or something close. Advice welcome.

Cheers

I applied for naturalisation which was received on the 16/05/2014 and my query relates to the amount of time taken to process an application. I had a driving conviction back in 2008 which is spent but declared this on the application form. Would this delay the application? It has also been 16 weeks and advised it can take 2 to 6 month for an answer, is this right? Little concerned as I have not heard anything, any help relating to this would be appreciated.

Hi Ind2,

We have separate forum ‘August 2014 - Naturalisation Application Timeline'. I think it would be good if you post your time line in this forum, so that we all be in touch of our progress applied in Aug 2014.
