Don't throw them out yet in case you can't find anything else, they would be better than sending nothing. But no, correspondence needs to be original and sent to you through the post.

But I just looked back a few posts and in number 51, you had way, way too much correspondence. Do you not actually have the things you listed there?
Noo i was just using that as an example to help myself understand the correspondence bits. We have a lot of documents which im sifting through as we speak but a lot of them arent matching the dates that i mentioned theyre like a couple of months off either side. We might just have to settle for using them i think

Ah, ok, thank you for clarifying!  And here I was thinking you should have won the prize for the best prepared!!  ;D

It's flexible. Revise your dates to suit the documents you have, making sure they are still evenly spread out.  :)

The spacing doesn't have to be perfect. Just close. When I applied last time my husband and my individual posts were never from the same month or even exactly 4 months apart. We did our best and had no problem.
The usual. American girl meets British guy. They fall into like, then into love. Then there was the big decision. The American traveled across the pond to join the Brit. And life was never the same again.

Thanks larrabee, yeah I've been having a lot of back and forth with British Gas about this. In my opinion i should be able to download old bills but they're just rebilling everything. I wouldn't have cared so much but they automatically turned on paperless billing without letting me know about it. I'm trying to find other correspondence to make up for it but its just doing my head in at this point.

They should be willing to send you the bills via post again, my energy company did this to me too and when I spoke with a customer service rep she was great about resending them to me.  I have ovo.

Thanks y'all yeah im slowly but surely getting through this.

I actually tried getting british gas to resend the bills but they kept rebilling them so everything was showing my most recent address. There was a lot of back and forth and i eventually just gave up.

Hey guys so this is what I managed to salvage from my digging yesterday. Please take a note of the key in the screenshot.



This is what I think i can get from this. What do you think?



For Feb 17, Jul 17 and Oct 18 I'm going to request the relevant phone bills to make up the requirement for individual correspondence. This should be ok right? It equates to 12 documents, evenly spaced in time and from at least 3 different source. It should be ok to just print off those online copies right? These companies switched us to paperless billing so we never received this in the post only available online.

Edit: Also could this be a better option? There's less online copies with these months

No.  No, the whole point of the correspondence is it must be actual correspondence sent through the post at the time they were originally generated to prove that the recipients lived at the same address at that time.
9/1/2013 - "fiancée" (marriage) visa issued
4/6/2013 - married (certificate issued same-day)
5/6/2013 - FLR(M)#1 in person -- approved!
8/1/2016 - FLR(M)#2 by post -- approved!
8/5/2018 - ILR in person -- approved!
22/11/2018 - Citizenship (online, with NDRS+JCAP) -- approved!
14/12/2018 - I became a British citizen.  :)

I'm a bit confused because these phone bills for example are exactly what I would have received in the post they just put us on the paperless billing scheme so we never actually received them. If it wouldn't be good enough then what shall I do? we're missing chunks of months if we're looking solely at items we received in the post. I wish we never moved so often :(

Looking at this post and they seem to have been fine with online prinouts unless they're just lucky in their case?? :/

 There are countless examples of UKVI letting things slide but you always want to start out by aiming to follow the instructions to the letter.
The closer you are to providing exactly what they ask for, the better the chance you are giving yourself to succeed.  :)

Thanks for the advice, so im doing some more digging to find alternative to the online phone bills and I was just wondering  if its acceptable to have individual correspondence from two different sources in the same month. So it that latest table instead of the phone bills for Sep 17, i found one correspondence to me from Bupa and one correspondence to my spouse from Legal & General. Would these two papers work?

Ok ive turned the house upside and this is the best I could do. Its all original correspondence, 6 individual documents, 3 joint documents, from at least 3 different sources spaced evenly apart. The only exception is Feb 18, I couldn't find any documents for me back then but i found ome the month after. Would this be acceptable? Alternatively I could do both in Mar 18 but i cant do both for Feb 18. Which one would be better?

Also is it ok to use a hospital letter (Feb 18)?
