hi Porky,

welcome to the forum..

with regards to the thread that was closed already, it depends what kind of thread is it..was it re visa?

[porky]

Thanks kimmi,

It was finance thread (HELP AND ADVICE)about bankrupcy and debt management
I have been chatting girlfriend for 2 years and we want to get engaged,but been caught out with recession now and accumulated big visa bills

If i get the debt managed it will save 1000s,but will result in defaults against my good credit record,if not i will be paying high interest over next few years until we marry

What I want to know without any risk to our future,whatsoever,is,if i go down the debt management road,will it effect any visa applications??

I would apprecate anyones help in this matter

I reckon that as long you have a couple of thousand quid as savings in the bank, and a regular income to support her without recourse to the public purse, then you have a good chance.

And marrying overthere is far cheaper than here in the UK, even including the flights.
Besides, you could save one lot of visa fee by marrying there (bypass fiancee visa), as you would only need a spouse visa and that would entitle the new wife to work immediately if she so wishes.

So my suggestion is to start saving.

THANKS..
I Will consider trip TO pHILIPPINES,but difficult in my work to get the time off,
got the 2k and regular income,but, if I thought the ECO will do credit check and refuse visa on credit card defaults ,I not want to risk our future , and it would take 6 years to clear debt.Called CAB about this and own laywer but still not sure where i stand
Appreciate more help on this

As far as I am aware, the ECO will only check the bank statements ( the last six months worth) and not do a credit check on Visa/Mastercards.
If you were to repay your credit cards through a different account, it wouldn't show on your regular bank account, from which you supply the statements, and thus avoid akward questions....

And to add ,if you soon apply for visa,explain on your cover letter about it...also its only 2500 is the proven of savings ,the most important thing is the genuinity of the relationship,or what about marry her in PI,a bit easy,(( or less hassle a bit for )applying spouse visa rather than fiancee visa,just a tip ..dont worry too much!

welcome to the forum by the way !!

I really appreciate your replies, but , with respect , what I really need to know for definite, is , Does the ECO at any stage of any future visas , do credit checks , If so this would show me to have defaults on credit rating and show that i am unable to pay bank interest , this would surely have a bearing on my ability to support my fiance or wife and would set our plans back 6 years notwithstanding a failed visa applicatioI would be grateful for any help in this matter

NO THEY DO NOT DO CREDIT CHECKS nor CHECK HOW MUCH LOAN YOU HAVE...
THEY ARE JUST INTERESTED OF WHAT IS IN YOUR CURRENT/SAVINGS ACCOUNT (6 mos latest statements)
