immigration health Surcharge Refund after Refusal Please help

Post by madees_83 » Mon May 16, 2016 3:55 pm

Dear Experts
I need your expert opinion. Actually I used to live in UK till Feb 2016 and now I am in Pakistan. I made an application (FLR) when I was in UK June 2015, which refused in Jan 2016 and that was the reason I came back to Pakistan. I have paid 1000 GBP for IHS which supposed to be refunded but I haven’t get anything back from UKVI even it has been more than 90 days now. UKVI have mentioned that applicant will get the money back automatically into bank account, and even there is no option to claim a refund.
Secondly I have contacted UKVI 3 times before I left UK and they said " we have raised the query about your case and you will get the refund soon"
As now I am in Pakistan, it’s getting more difficult to contact them. Can anyone suggest me what should I do in this scenario?

IHS Refund is usually refunded before people get their letters. Are you sure it was not refunded?

Thanks for prompt reply.
Yes I am sure they haven,t refund. I have called them several times in Feb 2016 about it and they have mentioned I will get it back.

Are you still calling UKVI Numbers (0300) for refund? I am planning to ask one of the solicitor in UK to launch a proper case against them.
