I kept mine for the duration of the application as we were impacted by the new rules which stipulates that we need to have the fund available.

Thanks. As on my £50000 & £900 statements my name is mentioned as A Ahemed but the address is same. U think this is acceptable as most banks issue statement with this format ?

In my opinion that should be fine.

Except anyone else thinks this is a problem.
