1. If a CCJ has been issued under u name for not paying the bill then it might be a problem.
2. HO will do a check to see if u have any criminal convictions or CCJ and if there is one and u said on the form that u never had any then it wud result in refusal.
3. Why not give O2 a call and ask about it.
4. Have u ever received a letter from the court or debt collection agency regarding u bill?

Dear people,

Thanks for your updates, I would like to put forward my query and ask for your suggestions.

I'm in the process of applying my ten years ILR very soon. In 2006 I went to India and missed mobile payments with O2 because due to some reasons I had to stay in India for some time. During this process o2 contacted me and also sent me debt collectors letter and the amount was for 300 Pounds. After coming to UK again I saw letters from Debt collectors, after that I contacted them and paid half the money and I said that I will paying the rest of the money after some months.

Later on I moved house and eventually letters stopped coming to my new address, so O2 gave me incoming and stopped outgoing during this time.
After that they have completely stopped my incoming as well and also I stopped getting letters. Later on I was thinking why the letters were not coming for the rest of the money. Eventually I realized that they have updated wrong address into their system, but I do remember that i have given them the right address. Probably some typing error.

But I always had my extensions of my visa with out any problem till now, this all happened in 2007 June, I got my credit file from equifax and also from EXPERIAN, but they both were saying nothing in my file. But I gave the addresses where I lived.

Well what does that mean? did wiped off my unpaid bill? If they haven't, it should at least be in my credit file right? Is it because the address has being wrongly updated in the system and that;s the reason it is not showing any where?

Please help me on this issue as I do not want to take a chance before ILR for this reason and also for 200 pounds.

Please let me know where Im standing.
Thanks,

I will be very suprised if anyone is refused ILR solely because they owe money and are struggling to pay it back as planned. IF you kick out such a person how on earth is the creditor ever going to get their money back?? In fact maybe govt have to make it a priority to keep debtors in the country even against their will :lol:

1. You shud be surprised as nobody gets rejected only for not paying their bills.
2. Applicants get rejected wen they do not pay bills and cuz of that the companies take the applicants to the court and hence CCJ occurs.
3. So there is a difference.

Hi Everyone,

Does home office check National Insurance number for ILR applications? Well the thing is, i will apply for ILR in few months and i found out that my visa is just for self employed business. But i am working for a company as an employee. So they pay me hourly rate but i also pay my NI contributions and tax for my business( since 2010 as i found out) so i will need to send them my documents related to my business. My NI contributions is under class 2.

Thanks in advance
