Tier1 Extension_query regarding Postal Order

[23367]

Hi all,
I am sending postal application for my Tier1 extension this week. I have chosen the Payment option as "POSTAL ORDER" and have bought the postal orders for the extension fee(1000£). As per the guidance
===============
You must make the cheque or postal order payable to ‘Home Office’ and cross the cheque or postal order A/C Payee only.
=============================

My question is :
Postal order issued by Post office has been crossed. But they have not explicitly written the word " A/C Payee only". I specifically requested the Post office Agent to write on the postal order as "A/C Payee Only" but they declined to do that.When i called the home office, the agent who answered the call said he was not clear about this and has simply asked me to follow whatever is mentioned inthe guidance document. Can someone guide me is it really required to write "A/C Payee only" on a Postal order. If yes, can i write it manually?

Thanks
SV

Is there a limit for postal orders? - I need to get one for £2600 for PEO.

Could someone please advise?

There is no limit on Postal orders. You can buy in multiples of 250 £ and the last Postal order worth 100£.

Postal Orders are very expensive. I think 5% extra you need to pay. Why cant you go for Banker's Draft who charge a reasonably fixed amount and almost all the bankers issue them

Sure, I will consider banker's draft as well, however are they acceptable for same day appointments - at PEO Croydon?

I am not sure about that but you can easily verify with reliable sources, I hope.
