Just a quick question, about the Full Vs Expanded initials.

1) My payslips have my first name listed in full
2) My bank statements have both my first and middle initial shortened.

Would this create any problem?
Should I ask my bank to change my account name to include my full initial and ask for duplicate statement for last 10 months or so?

I dont think thats going to be an issue as lot of people (including me) get addressed only by Initials and family name in the bank statements. If you want to make sure nothing goes wrong, I guess you can ask your bank to provide you with a letter that you (with your full name as on the pay slip)being the holder of the acc XXX sort code XXX for the XXX number of years. As long as the same acc details are seen on the statement, it shouldnt be an issue. If you DO want to go for such a letter make sure its not more than 1 month old from the application date.

I think this is absolutely not a problem. This worked for me in my last Tier1 extension and should work in future. Moreover, all the banks issue statements with initials, and they cannot change the statements even if you request them. This is well known to HO and should not create a problem.

Thank You, guys for your response.
I might get a letter from bank stating this.
