I had submitted my application through legal representative and the UKBA is accepting Banker's Draft as well.UKBA website does not list "banker's draft" as an acceptable method of payment for applications made in-person.
How to pay your application fee if you are inside the UK
Indeed, I would have thought that a simple phone call by the UKBA staff to the bank would have quickly resolved the matter.chrams wrote:My Solicitor and their representative aruged with the accounts team in PEO and they are saying my draft is not looks like a standard one issued by LLoyds. And they said they are running short of staff today.
It's bullshit from the UKBA and shows their irresponsibility about their standards. How could they reject to process my ILR application even without process my payment? if they have any issues with my draft they should call up the bank.
I guess so. Only the card-holder is expected to authorize the payment (enter PIN) at a point-of-sale, not a third party (e.g. - solicitor).chrams wrote:Infact I asked my solicitor payment by credit card and they said that "the UKBA will not accept by credit card payment as the applicant is not attending to the appointment"
Is it true?
Was the submitted bankers draft not proper? What would be different?chrams wrote: Meanwhile I will get a proper Banker's draft.
Dear chrams, a Banker's draft cannot be more proper than last time. I understand, it was not proper for UKBA to reject a draft without confirming it from the bank. I would suggest you to play safe and pay using your credit/debit card this time. Who knows you will encounter another crazy man and end up paying your solicitor day charges.chrams wrote:Dear Mods and members,
Thanks for all your inputs to my thread.
Unfortunately, things are not moving as we thought and my solicitor gave next available slot which is on 4th Jan and until then I will sit tight with good hope on this. Meanwhile I will get a proper Banker's draft.
Jami you are right, 100% UKBA mal-administration at payments section. if they wish they would have processed my payment, but it seems the staff were very short due to festive season they are showing silly reasons to postpone things.
Sushdmehta, Vinny, GD78 and to all of you members, I am grateful for your help. I will keep you update on my progress.
Wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous New Year.

Hi Chrams,chrams wrote:Hi All,
Happy New Year to you all !!!
After several walkins to various Lloyds TSB branches, one Branch manager kindly issued a supporting letter addressing me the following letter on their headed paper.
"This is to confirm that the Cheque No: xxxx for £2700.00 payable to the Home Office has been issued by on behalf of Lloyds TSB Bank Plc.
Please contact me on Tel No: xxxxx if you have any further queries.
Yours sincerely,
Manager Sign

I had taken my upto date bank statement (transactions sheets issued on the bank stationary with thier stamp, as my latest statement is not generated yet!!) which shows my draft amount £2700 + service fee £20 deducted.
I hope this time Croydon PEO process my payment and I will keep my fingers crossed for my tomorrow's appointment through my solicitor.
I will keep you updated,
Regards,
chrams
