You should ensure that you obtain a receipt.
thank you for refreshing my mind on this lastid.

I paid thru managers check before phoning the call centre for my appointment. Sharing about my bad experience was that, AT VFS after my papers was sorted and was was called for my manager's check, they refuse to accept it as they increase for a little certain amount. I cannot remember how much was the amount. I explained to the officer that I made this appointment & by the time I was booked the amount was still the same & I keep on tracking the website for more update. The officer said that they just increase a day ago & wouldn't accept my cash or even I asked if I can pay to any registered bank in Manila. Still they wouldn't accept it. Their explanation was they will reimbursed me the said amount (in the manager's check) and I will have to do it again, to pay the exact (new rate) amount. My husband was so pissed off coz he cannot get in the VFS ofc (was allowed long time ago), he's not allowed to stay at the corridor outside the VFS office (lols) we went to the British embassy to ask for a reconsideration about the matter but was refused to enter without appointment, blah blah blahs & have to email them for complain...aahhhhh. IN the end, we went back to Cebu and waited for VFS reply. My hubby needs to go back to the UK for business matters & complained straight away to the Brit Emb London, less than a week I got a call from VFS that they will reconsider my cash payment with the manager's check....Bl**dy hell. So I flew again to Manila for it. Just thought of sharing this inconvenient experience of ours.
