Payment still not taken!
Hello all, I have sent my info through the NCS with Hampshire County Council. I send off my payment details and then got a letter stating that I hadn't submitted the Payment form, (despite having a reciept from the NCS proving I did). I have since resubmitted a payment for form and it was received in the 14/10/2015, but they have still not taken payment, nor confirmed that they have received that application, is this normal as I was told that payment would be taken quite quickly as it was one of the first things that they do?

Please update (or add) all your timelines in here:



For eagerly waiting people this is a nice resource of reassurance and one place to view all the statistics of forum applicants since April.

Hi Georgeousmafia

Thanks for your answer. Have you requested them back or this is the "normal" time to get them back? If you requested them back did you completed a form or how exactly did you do it? Has been 7 days since I've send them and I haven't got them back yet.

Thanks again

I requested them online and told them which ones I specifically wanted and for what reason . You cannot request the documents if your application was received in the last 10 days . I did my biometrics first then requested as it was 20days since my application was received .

Great.Thanks again:)

My friend, remember you are dealing with an extremely inefficient institution hell bent on overcharging us for their incompetence! There is no way of checking your progress until 6 months have passes. One week is nothing. It can take a few weeks for your money to go out. Mine took 2 weeks. Some others took 4 weeks. Just look at other people's timelines.

So just sit back, relax and enjoy the show! Pour yourself a drink, settle down to a warm stew, watch the trees change colour, enjoy the rugby world cup... And don't forget to change your clocks this weekend!!

My best wishes to you for all your 4 applications!!

Hi guys..

Can someone advise where can I check the progress of my application? I applied one week ago for my family (2adults and 2 children). The money are still in my account. How long does it takes until they get the money?
Thanks

Hi there..Thanks for your answer..it was priceless:)..Do you know how long does it takes to get my original passports back and if I can request them back after one month? My daughter just got a new good job and they requested to see the original passport . Thanks

Hi it took 5 days for me requested on Monday 19/10/15 received Friday 23/10/15 .
