Does Homeoffice keep your card details after 8 years.

[one2one2]

Dear Friends and Readers,

In 2010 when I applied for PSW my payment doesn't go through and application was sent back as invalid. I am not sure which card I made payment from. Does home office keep my card details and inform me upon request?

Thanks

No as cards generally expire in 5 years so no point

Thanks for your reply, you are right but the card I made payment from 8 years ago, do they still keep the details for that card coz I want to know what card was it. Coz I had more than one cards at that time.

thanks

Unlikely they do. The payment slips are probably destroyed once payment is taken to avoid your details being used fraudulently.

What is the purpose of your question though??

Thanks for the reply...well in 2010 they returned my application as invalid considering me overstayer when I applied for 10 yeaes long residency they say the continuity has broken.
Now I want to confirm what card I paid the fees from to challenge their decision taken in 2010 in court.

Thanks

You should have challenged it at the time and asked for clarity.

Don't you have copies of the applications you sent or correspondence from home office?

Unfortunately I dont...but I requested for SAR what i received but there was no payment details included in the report.
What you think should I say in the court? Please guide.
Thanks
