Advice required for ILR unique case

Post by mbn999 » Thu Sep 28, 2017 12:18 pm

Hi,
I am due to apply for ILR in about 14 months, last week My bank account was closed because i used to live at a postcode 4 years ago and now one of my friend is living there. He has been a victim of Identity fraud, but because there are a few transactions between his and my account, the bank has closed my account as well without giving me any reason and put a CIFAS flag against my name. I have requested more details from Cifas.
Now i am not being able to get a bank account with ANY bank. I will be registering a complain with Financial Ombudsman regarding this, they may ask bank to remove mark but worst case scenario if they dont,
I would like to know as i have to submit my last three months statements with my ILR application when i do apply for it, what are my other options ? as god forbid if i cant get a bank account till then.

Will payslips and P60 be enough ? or if any other document can be replaced with bank statements.
I am on Tier 2 general Visa with and my sponsor is a big organisation.

I will really appreciate your help.

Kind Regards

You need to sort it out in 14 months :? How can you live without a bank account ?

You cannot survive in the UK without a bank account. You have to sort it out or worst case scenario is not getting ILR

I am sure you have enough time, get it sorted.

Seek legal help and sort this out. This is not an immigration issue but more of a mistaken identity as you claim it.
