What gives you the right to call someone scum just because you messed up.
If you had gone to the office on the correct day there wouldn't have been a problem,and by your attitude it's hardly surprising you got fined with or without a receipt.
You seem to miss the point dear boy, are you sure you are not ItalianTony? or have you just taken over his job as devil's advocate?
The purpose of my post was to warn others.
They are thieving scum.
If I was guilty of overstay ( considering my application was a month early and my visa was granted on or before 20th October, I don't see how that is possible ) but if I was; by refusing to issue a receipt they were making sure they could pocket the fine rather than pass it to the appropriate authority - thieving.
If I was not guilty, they were refusing to issue a receipt because they did not want to give documentary evidence of their wrong doing - scum.
If you are in fact ItalianTony, I expect your next post will be to say I should have saved my money when younger and be rich like you....
All i was saying is that if you had gone on the correct day you wouldn't of had a problem,i just don't see why you have to call people scum.
As for Italian Tony i have no idea who he is,i am not Italian i am British and proud.
BRITISH and PROUD...some confusion here Alan..
