Well done. that was quick. We applied for my spouse. We have a asked to put slightly different name on the passport.

Can moderators please tidy up this sticky to reflect 'Timelines' only? Defeats the purpose otherwise.

Thank you.

How do i inform the HO tried calling and i got answer machine with 2 options 1 if your application is less than 6 months and then it says this call will now end

The only way to inform is by letter. On your acknowledgement letter you will find their answer. So write a letter and explain that you arranged payment plan . Sign the letter and put the ho reference number and send it to them. As your rent things dealt in court, if u were tried to settled this issue outside court that would have muchbetter. B

First of all this forum is for timelines only, appreciating your trying to help others, but there will be some dedicated threads for that.
Second, I dont think you need to inform the HO, although you went to court for this dispute, you could hold on to yourself, there is no way the HO will know because the court is not going to turn up and sent the HO information about every single person who attends court....
If you attended because of Driving offences then the record will be easily picked via your Driving License....

If I was you I would just leave it , sit back and chill
Dont open Fire on yourself, then you 'll regret your actions when they tell you ok because the fine was issued in Court you have to wait for 3 years...I guess Gurus will possibly agree..

You are badically saying something to applicant that you should not recommended. Anyways it is up to him. But if I was in his place I would speak out truth.

Please can we go back to Timelines only on this thread, and if someone wanted to argue then use the other forums, appreciating all opinions...Thanks

This has nothing to do with HO. You do not need to tell them. It is between you and your Landlord/letting agent and will not affect your application.
