ILR - Mail Question

Hi, just gathering all of my documents.  My husband didn't believe me about the post and threw away a bunch of stuff a while back...fuming!

Do you think that post from our estate management company counts as official post?  Also, we get post from Rail Delivery Group, which is a function of National Rail and on the letterhead which is our staff travel cards addressed to both of us.  Do we think that counts as official post?

Thank you for the help!

Honestly, if that’s all you have and you need to use those documents to make up your 6 documents, then I would use them.

But if you do have anything else official that you can use instead, then go for those things first.

What about monthly bank statements? If you have been receiving those in the post (and still have them), you can use them to make up the months you don’t have documents for.

You have to start training them early! 

I am guilty of this "throwing away" sin.... and I am the applicant!! Forgive him... he knows not what he does. We are just men after all..

By the time it finally clicks that you need to save everything, you'll have ILR, and then you won't need to save anything.  Suddenly, you'll find yourself agonizing over whether it's safe to throw away things that arrive in the mail slot.

And I don't think you ever fully get over it! 

I've used CC statements, car loan paperwork, doctor's/hospital paperwork for my husband and my two FLR and my ILR were all approved.

For my ILR app in October, I used several bank statements (both our names), Council Tax, and a few other things.

Hi everyone.  I'm so frustrated because after saving things for 5 years now AND doing these applications countless times, as I mentioned above, my husband ripped up and threw out a whole load of mail last year not believing that I really needed them!   I have searched and searched and this is what I've come up with.  I DO have more post either in my name alone or his, but I seem to have alot of post around dates that I've already covered.  I'm really thin for end of 2017 and 2018 :/

For reference, my current BRP (FLR-M) began 25 July 2017
Can I please get some feedback/thoughts on what I've uploaded:

1) 22 Sept 2017 - Mortgage documents from Halifax addressed to myself and my husband
2) I have several Halifax documents all around Sept 2017 but nothing else for later in that year
3) March 2018 - Letter from Halifax addressed to myself and my husband
4) June 2018 - Halifax letter and mortgage statement
5) January 31 2019 - Aviva Pension Update addressed to me/March 11 2019 NHS letter addressed to husband
6) 25 July 2019 - Letter from Target/Help to Buy regarding our mortgage addressed to myself and my husband
7) Jan 2020 - NatWest letter addressed to myself and my husband referencing our account

Our bank statements are not mailed, but were stamped at the bank, so I can't use those. 

In addition to these documents, I have Estate Management letters addressed to both my husband and I for Sept 2017 (already have mortgage statement for same month), 27 February 2018, and August 2019. 

I have an NHS letter to my husband for May 2019 and an Aviva letter to myself for 17 July 2019. 

I have a letter to each my husband and myself from Rail Delivery Group/National Rail which lists his employer and his National Insurance Number for March 2018.

An additional Halifax letter for both of us for October 2019 and an Aviva letter to both of us for July 2019.

I do have several original loan statements from NatWest that are addressed to both of us, but they have no dates referenced on them anywhere!  So maddening!

Any advice on what I have here so far??  Thank you!

I have now also found both of our individual 2017-2018 HMRC Annual Tax Summaries which aren’t dated at the top but show 08/2018 at the bottom and our June 2019 Halifax mortgage statement.

On that note, I previously asked about my mortgage payment as it’s a question on the application.  My mortgage rate ended and changed during the process of my application.  I submitted on 2nd Feb and my new payment was taken out on 3rd Feb (we applied and got a new fixed rate but our monthly payment is £70 more than before).  Is this June 2019 mortgage statement valid as the most current statement?

Otherwise, I had included with my documents a printed mortgage statement from Halifax from last month and this month and a letter explaining that my mortgage rate product had ended and that I included 2 statements.

You have something from the beginning and the end which is good. The long gaps in the end of 17 and 18 are the biggest problem, as you point out.

Because your choices are limited, I'd go with adding more documents than you need, even though they are not perfectly spaced.. you can only give them what you have after all.

So I'd add the October 19 thing for sure and anything else which remotely closes those long gaps.
