HSMP Approved - Typo on Approval Letter

[heretic]

Hi All,

Recently I received my HSMP approval letter.

They seem to have made a typo on the letter. They have typed my DOB wrongly.

What can I do to get this corrected.

Contact them. & send back the approve letter back. They will issue new letter. Same thing has happen with me too.

It happened to me as well. My HSMP was approved in Aug 2005 and i got the correct letter in November 2005, isn't it funny?
Initially they type my Date of birth wrong, when i send my letter back asking them for correction. Second time they typed my year of birth only so i was asked to send it back .
Third time they forgot to sign the letter, that was enough for me in terms of patience and money. I wrote a very nasty letter and emailed them and fax it as well. It was received by them and they apologized and surprisingly i received correct version of my letter by some one (may be team leader as i was asked to address my letter to him) within a two days of signing by them with change of prinitng date.

So contact them they will amend the letter!

I surely hope it won't take 3 months to get the letter back as I am in the same boat. (They reversed the month and day on the letter so that it is not my birthday.) I have emailed them and haven't heard back yet.

Did you just mail the letter back asking for a correction? Or did you contact them first and have them give you directions on mailing it back for correction?

I also wonder if you could still convince the local consulate to give you EC with the date backwards.

I contact them on phone and send them email. I was advised over the phone to send the letter back, but they made mistake repeadly and thats y it took three month. I specifically requested them to alter the date of issue so that i dont face porblem in getting EC.
Fortunately they changed the date of issue with new date and i didn't have a problem in EC and Now i am in UK!!!
