Hi all,
i applied (Glasgow area) for sgc and fac 4th May, had my visit around 6 weeks later, all seemed well apart from a couple of things on my 'record' that weren't mine, was assured they would be removed as proven not to be me when the FEO looked at the description in detail.
have emailed and called multiple times to find out if they're any further with my application. Been papped off with various excuses each time.
Doubting they've done what I asked and if they've sorted the issues out mind you.
Anyone else still waiting? Or been granted/refused recently by police Scotland?
I applied in 2000 and withdrew my application due to my living arrangements ( my brother was in a lot of trouble with the law then and we were both at the my mothers address) but the chief inspector (then of Pitt street) had said if I moved house and reapplied in 2 years he would have no issue granting me it then, unfortunately life and work got in the way and I didn't get the chance to apply until this year.
My last call with the chief inspector he said that it had not been recommended I get one or both, didn't say if it was either or though.
they have no good genuine reason to refuse me Unless they hadn't amended my record as requested. Which I wouldn't have known about any of these had I not applied for my licences (various seatbelt fines & I witnessed a commotion one day and looks like instead of being noted as a witness I had been put as a suspect WIT?! Think the was something else but can't remember now)
looking for input, thanks in advance.
