Bank statement issue

[reggie_11]

here are a couple of issues, and these include


Through repeated calls I was convinced and adviced into opening two different accounts within the 28 day period...so my money moved from 1st reserve to Rewards Reserve A/C and then Cash ISA as I shouldnt be keeping that much of money in my previous a/c...somewhere my confusion and lack of understanding about the UK banking system is to blame here, least realising that this could later land me into a problem..

Visiting my My Bank (Natwest) regarding the bank statment, and even speaking to the Branch Manager apprising him of the UK Home Office requirement I was told that they CANNOT issue me a statement (my 28 days completes on 8th Jan 2011). As per some circular they have stopped doing so (signing and stamping statements) since the last 3 months.

I am really worried now as to how to go about this bank statement issue.

I have internet banking, the fact the money was shifted from one a/c to the other and back. A print out of those statements looks really confusing, eventhough more than the stipulated amount has been/is there in my a/c (now in 2 accounts)

My question to the group is how should I proceed from this deadlock (I am stuck because of this one document) and my visa expires on the 30th Jan, hence worried.

Will issue of holding money in 2 different a/cs pose a problem?

Do UK Home office in the recent past have been known to accept printouts of online statements?

Any reply/suggestion/experience sharing would be highly appreciated

You should give him written request and ask them, if they cannot give you bank statement, give you a letter of refusal that they cannot give you bank statement and refer to law/circular. Get something in writing.

Also, ask them if they cannot give you bank statment, provide a letter about funds availability and confirm that those funds are in account from last consecutive 28 days but they cannot issue bank statement under some law.

You have to get a document, if you know or using a lawyer, ask them to write a letter to that bank on your behlaf, otherwise be ready to get your visa extension refused!

HO do not accept online statements if they are not stamped and signed by the authorsied person. You can ask them to write a letter addressing to the HO and confirming that you hold an a/c with them and you have maintened balance of £xxx for 28 consecutive days.
Letter must be written on the bank letter head with your full name, complete address and a/c number clearly visible and signed by the authorsied person.
