racht Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 Hello again! My hubby needs to sort out and send skills assessment b4 we can apply for PR visa. The only problem is that he has had 'crossed words' with his former boss. Nothing to do with his work, basically accused OH of poaching a member of staff after he left (which he didnt). My question is, has anyone else had a similar problem and if so, what did they do? He wont reply to OH e-mails etc so that is not an option. Why is there always 'something' that stops it being straight forward:arghh:?!!!!! Thanks Rachael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Cutches Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 Hi Rachael, Your right, it's never straight forward is it! When my OH did his CDR assessment his references/duties etc were also from the companies he worked for, so maybe he could try emailing HR at his previous company and/or his bosses boss. Where there's a will there's a way! Good Luck :v_SPIN: CC x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racht Posted January 14, 2008 Author Share Posted January 14, 2008 unfortunately it wasnt a big company and so he was THE boss, so no go there. thanks though. :skeptical: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mrs C Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Hi Rach, I'm not sure because we didn't have to do this, so don't take it a Gospel! But I did read that someone on here had a similer problem and the agent suggested that they did a Stat Dec with their solicitor! It might me something to look into. Good Luck April Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 why not just write him a letter asking for confirmation of oh's employmnet dates and a job description - or do one yourself and ask him to sign it. Ali Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racht Posted January 14, 2008 Author Share Posted January 14, 2008 Thanks for your help guys. I think we will try sending something for them just to sign and then if that fails do a stat dec. What should the stat dec say - just that you worked, there, how long for and what you did...or do you also include reasons why you are having to do a stat dec? If so, how much detail should you go into? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Cheryl & Andy Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Hi there, thanks for posting this thread! It's a problem I may come up against. I was an Office Manager where my OH was the Sales manager, he later left to work for a competetor. It's a long story but lets just say i was forced to leave and it was on bad terms. Info from this thread will really help when (and indeed IF) i get that stage!! Cheryl c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest scotty Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 You could also try the tax office. I read on another forum that a person rang their local office who gave them a print out of the time in question and rubber stamped it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest melissa Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 I had to provide a couple of 'affidavits' for firms that had folded years ago. I also had to get confirmation of the firms existance by going online to company house, and ordering a certificate. I can send you a copy of the affidavit if you want, to give you a template. I think they are very particular about everything being in order. Darren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest scotty Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Hi Melissa. I'd very much appreciate seeing a copy too if that's not being too cheeky asking. I also have an old company that closed down and I just got a print out from the Company House web site. I'm glad you mentioned about the certificate as I was going to send that. Was it easy to get?

If you pm me your email address i'll send it to you. You need the proper cert from company house which you can order online if my memory serves me. About £20.
