Police Certificate in UK
Hi
I need a Police certificate to apply for FSW. I have applied for it but I am bit nervous. In some occassions , I did not pay utility bills and credit card bills. Is these offences are criminal offence in uk ?
Anyone can help me advising.
Thanks
Chris

Re: Police Certificate in UK
Not until charges are laid if they (companies) choose to go that route.
Normally they choose the civil proceedings route as opposed to the criminal route.
My advice is pay them off then you will be guilt free and not so nervous rather than waiting for that summons to be served via the criminal route and then possibly be coming inadmissible into Canada.

Re: Police Certificate in UK (PCC)
thanks...i will contact them and will pay them ( might be in monthly pay installments)
As I have already applied for the certificate and its meant to arrive by 2 or 3 days, still having these problems ( hopefully they took as civil offence) ...can I expect a clean PCC ?
thanks

Re: Police Certificate in UK
If you have never been charged with a criminal offence then you should have a clean PCC for our purposes of equating offences.

Re: Police Certificate in UK
My job required me to have the 2nd highest national security clearance/police check that there is in the UK. It's only 2 months old and I wish I could just submit that but then I suppose they don't know if I've been naughty between this and the next one!

Re: Police Certificate in UK
What makes me mad is how the UK makes it so complicated to get Police checks when Ireland, Belgium and France make it so easy!!!With the last three you complete a request on line, they send you a secure link to send a scanned copy of you passprt and hey presto a week or so later you have a police check.

Re: Police Certificate in UK
I'm not having a dig here but I only had to complete 1 form and post of a proof address, passport scan and photo and it was back in 5 days. Compared to the rest of the process's this one was relatively easy I felt so I wouldn't stress over it unless you have a conviction which would appear in which case, good luck!
Even when we had to get our 2nd certificate's (for updated docs) it was still easy. And they are very helpful on the phone also, if you need to speak to them.
With regard to convictions, if they are spent, it may not stop you getting in to Canada - you would need to research it.

How long are the certificates valid for?
