Urgent- Credit Card declined

I have made an application to HO on 9th sept for nationality. I was expecting HO to take out the appl. fee from my credit card last week. They didn't. Therefore I rang my credit card company ask them about it and came to know they have declined the transaction last Wednesday because it was a big amount and normally I don't spend that much and also the transaction was processed manually. The bank apologised about it, however, in order to put the transaction through HO needs to again process the transaction. They can't do anything to rectify the problem at their end.
Now I am going to ring HO Monday morning. Would Ho listen to me and process the transaction again? or they would return the application?
Please advice what should I do?

I think the HO will be writing you to inform you that your card has been declined and you should send them a cheque or other debit card details. I do not think they will return your application. Always reply them with a first class recorded delivery. The application might be delayed due to payment not been processed. Call them to find out what to do next, maybe they will be able to process the payment by phone who knows? All the best

Thanks Newbie.
Has anyone been in this situation before? If so, what did HO did with the application?
Please advice.

You might want to contact this member who was on a similar situation to find out what happened after the second attempt for payment was sent.
