jason32 wrote:Hi Guyz,
I am applying for my PSW on monday next week, but I dont have enough money in account to pay for my fee, £1400...so I am just thinking about taking the money out of the account after I get the statement to pay the fee. Would that be ok or should I keep the money in till I receive my visa?
you need to have the money for 90 days ending no more than a month before your application and on the day of the application. So if you are using the maintenance funds to pay the fee, you will not meet the maintenance requirement. Whether the UKBA realise this will depend on whether or not they vertify that the funds were in your account on the day of your applcation. This is a flaw in the PBS system.jason32 wrote:Hi Guyz,

no statements without the logo of the bank, regardless of whether they are stamped or not will not be accepted by UKBA.jason32 wrote:One more thing, I just got a copy of my bank statement from Barclays and they printed it on a normal white paper with no logo on it, however they stamped and signed all the papers, they said they will not give me an account maintenance letter. Is that enough for applying?
the policy guidance states that the logo is also required if electronic bank statements are being provided. have you tried printing them out to see what they look like?jason32 wrote:i dont think even printing from online account will have their logo on the statement.
UKBA website says "an electronic bank statement bearing • the official stamp of the bank in question will be accepted. This stamp should appear on every page of the statement."
jason32 wrote:Even when printing online there is no logo on statements. So what should I do? I am sure they get thousands of applications from people who have accounts in barclays and they would know how this bank works?
Yes I did ask for a printed copy in mail, and what I received was a copy of statement on a plain white paper, just like you print at home. So obviously HO wouldnt accept it so I went to the bank and asked for a copy there and what they gave me was exactly the same as i received in my post, on a plain white paper with NO LOGO. SO I asked them to at least stamp and sign every page which they did. But refunsed to give me account maintenance letter.bobobo wrote:why didnt you just ask the bank to send the statements in post ( I know the statements are in the correct format as I had asked for these several times when I had one of my accounts with them), I personally feel bank statements without a logo are dodgy and I wouldnt trust them.

Should I apply with this statement? Stamp clearly says " This is to certify that this is a true likeness of original statement from Barclays bank" Signed by the branch manager.
You got me worried now, can I just get an account maintenance letter if they provide that?bobobo wrote:what you can do is, lof into your internet banking, take screenshots of the web page, paste it on a word document (this will show bbank name, a/c name, a/c number - make sure all dates are covered and the numbers are easily readable) then take this to your bank and get this stamped.
atleast you have more information on the document, godforbid if they refuse the PSW you atleast have a fighting chance during appeal process, blank paper without logo or bank name might go against you.

Yes I'll go and speak to them tomorrow again, if not at least they should give me an account maintenance letter.Greenie wrote:Banks can provide such letters. Santander provide them all the time.
Op have you tried printing out the statements from the machine in the branch? These have the logo.
If the bank can't provide you a letter then they can at least print out the statement on letter headed paper. Go back and insist.

I had similar problem but I manage to get the Maintenance letter. I suggest you visit any central London branches I got the letter from Regent Street Branch.jason32 wrote:I've tried everything, the bank is not supportive in this matter, I asked them at least give me a letter that says the statement is authentic but they refused to do it, no account maintenance letter was given.
So the statement I have now seems to be the best options, the statement is on plain white paper but has original bank stamp and signs on every page.
Yes barclays seems to be the most unprofessional bank in UK. THey dont listen and they dont print out statements on papers with their logo on.i3luf wrote:Hi,
