This is one I am not sure about. I don't think it is a criminal conviction as you haven't been charged with anything.Therefore common sense tells me that it doesn't have to be declared under criminal convictions. I hope P Pron pops up soon as I am positive he knows about this.

Thanks a bunch, Mrs G!!!! I'm pretty good on working out claims to British nationality, but on things like this, I don't know much more than anyone else - ie what it says in the IND Nationality Instructions!

Having said that, I agree completely with your commonsense view - CCJs aren't a criminal conviction, and if the appplication form and guidance notes don't ask about them them, the applicant needn't mention them.

The following is a link to the section of the Nationality Instructions on "character", which may be of interest.....

all the best

Dear Mrs G,

Many thanks for your help on this matter.

Kind Regards

Dear P Pron,

Many thanks for your help on this matter.

Kind Regards.

I would be grateful for your help.

I had a CCj against me for refusing to pay a phone bill in 1997. I paid the amount outstanding in 1998 and cleared the County Court Judjement (CCJ). I know that for credit purpouses my name is clear. Do I still have to disclose the fact that I had a CCJ 9 Years Ago?

Once again I am grateful for your help.
