paying UKBA

Hi there,

I applied for naturalisation on the 22nd December and I haven't heard anything back, I checked my bank account and a payment for a bill has come out without me knowing about it, so that put me onto £1,200 in my bank, I am just worried that UKBA have tried to take the £1,236 out of my account when there wasn't enough, I don't want them sending my application back to me because of this. I have been paid today so I now have the correct fee in my bank.

What happens if UKBA try to take the money out of my account but I don't have the correct fee at the time? Do they try again? Do I need to contact them just in case? I really don't want this to go wrong because of a silly payment coming out of my account at the wrong time.

Many thanks,

Justine

I also applied on 22/12 and money has literally come off my account now. As long you have the money available today you should be fine. Things are a bit slow due holidays

Do you know if they try to the take the fee out again if the correct fee wasn't in there the first time they tried? I am panicking, my work have delayed my pay for today

OMG you called UKVI UKBA (which was disbanded due to being "not fit for purpose") blah blah as the moderators will soon tell you... :lol: :wink:

@cyborg, the penny has finally dropped.
Still work for you to understand that UK BF is still in existence though.

Stay frosty.

If first payment attempt failed you should receive a letter advising you of this and inviting you to resubmit payment details.

I didn't bother correcting myself i.e. I meant "Border Agency" over "Border Force" since the primary point of the differences being "skin deep" still stands.

And it's all a bit of fun. Relax. It's all good so no hard feelings. :lol:
