Great congrates.

They have't even taken any money from my account.

Today I gave upmy patience and called up BIA to see why they haven't taken payment from my account? Ideally this should have done by now.

Guess what for last 2 hours I am getting the message that they are too busy and asked me to call later (no option to hold the line)

Unfortunately those who set the guideline for thenm it finish at teacher , solicitor , doctor. Well I kept on ...
