Hi All,

I would appreciate if you all can help me with a query I have regarding payment for ILR fee. As debit card payments can at times be declined due to fraud threat I spoke with my bank (Natwest) who said there can still be a chance of dismissal, in which case I may get a call from the bank for confirmation etc to proceed with the payment at the point when the payment is declined. This could be a bit of rish I think !!

My bank suggested me to make Bankers draft, which is a more safer and only cost £12.

I seem to remember that few days back someone has mentioned that Solihul does not accept banker's draft.

Can anyone confirm whether or not they accept bankers draft?

Can I do something as:

Fill payment page 1 with bankers draft
Fill another payment page as a back up with debit card details
Fill another payment page as a back up with my partners debit card details

and try all three depending upon which one works? Any thoughts?

Many thanks

No banker's draft, your debit card should be fine and you can always call them shoud an issue arise.

From one of the Experiences on this Forum, payment by Banker's Draft has been refused at Solihull PEO. They only accept Debit/Credit cards.

Thanks guys.

yep, just found the post, which was by ilrapplicant2013 recent success at Solihul.

So debit card should be OK I suppose. I'll call my bank on Monday again to ensure they dont stop the payment.

Just inform your bank about the amount and the nature/purpose of transaction , you will be fine.

Thanks

Found this link that may be useful to others explaining acceptable modes of payments for same day appointment at various PEOs:
