Maintenance Funds: Dipped below £800 only for one day

[pussinboots]

I plan to apply for Tier 1 (general) and have a question about the maintenance funds requirement.

My problem is that during the last 3 months, on one of the days, my account went below £800. But I noticed this immediately, and put money back in my account and topped it up to £800 on the same day.

So my bank statement shows the following:

Before 29 Dec 2009:
Balance: £800

29 Dec 2009 :
£70 DR
£70 CR
Balance: £800

My question is - would this still be okay? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

So it was just 70 quid?

I would show some other account with more than 70 quid balance on that day, to be safe...can even be an account in another country (I think).

No, it can be a problem if the bankstatement shows the balance during the day as 730£ or if the caseworker finds this..

as mubu mentioned..
Try to check if you have enough required funds (£70) in any of your other accounts in or out of UK and in one or more accounts in ur name or Joint accoutn holder name for that day and submit those bankstatements so that you are well protected.. please mention the same in ur cover letter that u r using so and so accounts for maintneance funds..

Are you saying that you can have £800 spread over different accounts, i.e. that it is not necessary to have the whole amount of £800 in a single account?

Yes, it can be spread over different accounts. The account should be in your name or a joint account where you should be named. Account can be of a UK bank or Non-UK bank.

Yes. It should be your account. Also mention in your cover letter that you are showing combined sum from your accounts and it is over £800.

Yes Right.. it can be spread over more than 1account IN or OUT of UK but in all those accounts you shd be an main or joint account holder.. if u are using such combination pls make sure u mention it in the cover letter so that CW knows it beforehand..
