Tier 1 (G) extension - Bank statement for maintenance funds

[ak790]

My Tier 1 extension appointment is at the Croydon PEO on 1 Nov 2011. My bank (HSBC) sends me statements covering the calendar month, in the 1st week of the following month.

So as of 1 Nov 2011, the last paper statement I will have from HSBC will be dated from 1 Sep - 30 Sep.
I intend to cover the period from 1 Oct - 25 Oct or so through a statement taken from the HSBC branch, on their official letterhead (i.e. with colored logo, my name, sort code, account number and transactions / balance information).

I am pretty sure this will suffice and will be admissable evidence for the extension, but thought I will double check if it will be a problem / confusing to submit a combination of paper statements + bank prinout to cover the period needed?

Help appreciated.

Sounds good to me...

super :) and reassuring!

Perhaps Stamped and Signed in the branch as well.

HSBC do not stamp and sign any statements within their branch as they provide the print out on bank stationery.

I have seen others who have had successful applications with HSBC statements printed at the Bank.

hoping that is OK and it works to be honest. has anyone else had experience with the HSBC statements from the bank not working (the ones with the HSBC logo, account holder name, sort code, account number etc.)?

seniors / people who frequent these forums?

You can also ask HSBC to send you a statement mid-month (I did this). But you would need to allow 2 weeks for it to arrive so if your earnings period runs until 25 Oct and appointment is 1 Nov it might not arrive in time.

thanks!
but would it not be OK if the HSBC statement is on their official stationery with a letter accompanying it from the bank confirming its authenticity?

Would there be any reason to worry?

i intend to submit payslips and bank statements for the period Sep 2010 - Sep 2011, so that would cover my previous earnings section.

it is only for the maintenance funds where I have this dependency on the bank statement.
Anyone have a successful case with submitting this HSBC printed statement?

Anyone who can help? Have you had experience (good / bad) with taking a statement from the HSBC branch in their standard format (logo, account name, sort code, account number, transactions, balances) with a letter addressed to you stating your address and signed by their branch managers?

Can you please advise? I am getting worried about this now, and all my papers are in order otherwise.

I have used my LTSB statements on the normal paper, signed and stamped by the bank..it did worked..

thanks,

i think i am just getting paranoid, as the HSBC statements printed at the branch do come with a letter from the branch manager as well, so its as official as it gets at HSBC (who do not sign and stamp anymore).

hi ak790

can you please post an update ? Did the HSBC duplicate statement work ?
The one which you got from a branch, is on official stationary but not stamped.

thanks
