Re: No payment taken out

Hi, I applied via NCS Bracknell on the 15th of March, I believe it got to HO by the 18th according to NCS. Yet today is the 27 of March and no fees have been debited. I am a little concerned as from what I can see most people get the fees debited in 7 days or less. Did this happen to anyone else, a...

I applied via NCS on the 13/03/13 and they still have not debited the fee :( gave debit card details. Not sure if anyone else facing such delays? Me, I applied on the 15th, and still nothing has been debited from my credit card. It appears that the price increase has caused a boom on applications, ...

Also I doubt NCS would post it on Friday afternoon. More likely it will go in the post on Monday.
Thanks Jambo, you're a star!

Yeah I had my ack letter and pay taken out. But it is worth giving it a try as it asks, if you submitted your papers prior to your visa expiring you are still able to work. Maybe if you also send proof delivery it should be fine. It's worth a try, you've got nothing else to lose. Hi R&F ,Thanks ...

That is not true, when I was applying I was being made redundant. An my current employer used the checking service to see if I could work and the outcome was positive. I know I was not assigned a caseworker because I had asked my MP to expedite and I had just gotten a letter from him saying that it ...
