Credit/Debit Card

[vks]

Hello friends,

I am in the process of extending my Visa from HSMP to Tier 1.(In country)

In Section 1 -Payment details Q A6, there is an option to chose the Visa/Mastercard or Delta/Maestro. on Page 5 of the Tier 1 application form,
I find the following details:
• *Credit card - Mastercard or Visa including
Electron)
• *Debit card - Delta, Maestro** (including
Solo)

Since my credit card has insufficient credit for the Fees, I am planning to pay it by my Barclays DEBIT Card. (which has VISA on it)

Question:
Can I use my Barclays DEBIT CARD for filling in the section A6 (as VISA/Mastercard)?

Thanks much for your suggestions!

I think it is fine.. See the link below an applicant recently paid his fee using DEBIT CARD - VISA but from HSBC Bank..

i think HO accepts both Debit and credit cards from well know Banks in UK..

adding to ramesh's comment above, make sure you inform your bank about this transaction. Many a times banks block large transactions suspecting it as fraud.

I used Barclays ..Debit card to make the payment..no issues at all

Oh and I didn't inform the Bank Either.

Sandeep..

the reason CHETHAN adviced to inform becos, it would be wise to do so as esply these days when all banks are tightening their security levels..

And you dont want HO payment to get rejected thus result in refusal/delay in application

Trying to give the best possible advice.. cheers

It's better safe than sorry. A phone call to bank can save you hassles, panic and unnecessary costs.

You can use Postal Order which will save you from lots of headache! Thats what i used for payment.....

Thanks Chetan for your valuable advise. I have same problem as vks. To be honest I didnt read the payment guidelines and used my Visa Debit card from Lloyds TSB. I dont want to change it now, instead I will inform Bank.

Debit Card is fine too. Shouldn't be a problem. Informing bank is an extra precaution. Do not loose your sleep over it.
