Cheers mate! You will find a big blue 'reschedule' button in your test date email , then you will pick the available date in their system! In effect right away! Reschedule as many times as you like!

bessiedoll Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Hi Guys After i passed my test i was sent an "Invitation to comment on adverse information" because i have some criminal convictions from around 10 years ago ( the maximum punishment i received was a fine). I have complied with the request on the letter, provided character references and my own stat dec to state what happened and why i have a record, and how i am now of good character. I sent the letter express post yesterday and it has been received today according to the tracking number. Does anyone have any idea what happens next? and how long it will take Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
