Seems a bit harsh. If it is refused, give BASC a ring, infact ring them anyway, explain it to them and get their advice. It will be factual, as long as you are honest with them.

This is a bit difficult as you have already said he cannot support your application.

 

Bottom line is, whatever he says is likely to happen!

 

Any reasonable FEO will make it clear they are not happy and give you the chance of withdrawing your application. It may seem a technicality, which it is really, but withdrawing your application is better than a refusal.

 

That being the case I suggest discussing with the BASC immediately, to get their view on the situation and options!

 

Not trying to be funny but you will have to be 100% honest with them and tell them everything!!

Matty call them before you get refused and tell them what he said, best of luck mate, and let us know how you get on, state you case!

If you were going to be refused your SGC they would not have done the checks and asked you a few questions regarding safety... If they have cashed your application payment then all is well, they dont cash cheques unless they are going to grant permission, if they do you can appeal and the guy from BASC will represent you as you say, i wouldnt worry to much, they have to give a good enough reason for refusal, and your convictions dont warrant a refusal, mines is far worse than yours by a long shot and i got mine OK Lothian & Borders issued it.

are you a dodgy punter? LOL. could not resist

[allrounder lad 0]

thx alot for the advice and the confidence boost hilux and yeh they cashed the cheque at the start of november. the officer gave me the recept for it to me when he came for the interview. and for black lab dont know why you would ask me if i was a dogy punter when a have 1 breech from 7 years ago which i clearly stated and would not be wasting peoples usfull time and good advice. unless u know somthing about me i dont because people who label or try to picture somthings are often wrong.

Sorry but that's not true. They generally cash the cheque soon after the application has been submitted but do say they will refund in full if the application is turned down.

 

 

Allrounder,

 

All the best for getting your SGC in the end, best advice I can give: Stay calm, stay honest and stay factual - they can't argue with that.

But I thought they granted yours only because they couldn't prove that having no fashion sense was a crime!
