Radar_uk Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 Just a quick question relating to FAC applications, I sent mine in a week ago and the cheque has already been cashed - does this mean that the application is progressing quickly or do they normally cash the cheques as a matter of course regardless of how far down the line the application has got ?

phaedra1106 Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 Durham cashed mine the same week they received it, FEO came out within 2 days then it took another 13 weeks before I got it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onefulham Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 (edited) It means..........they have got your money now and keeping it ! At least you know the process has started, reading on here every County seems different, I am in Bedfordshire and was very impressed how quickly I got my SGC, we are filling in the forms for my Son to get his now, the only problem is Bedfordshire police have, in all but name, been taken over by Hertfordshire, and the firearms dept moved to Harpenden, we will see how quick they are now !

Dunkield Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 Cheque being cashed means they have received your application, nothing more. It is the first thing they do, if you application is unsuccessful they will refund you your money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing as Herts have done the last 3 variations for me while I wait - I think you'll be in for a surprise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JR1960 Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 First thing they do is make sure they've got your money, it costs them the same to process whether you get the award or not. Then sadly it depends on which force you're with.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pegasus bridge Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 Cheers all, I will be patient..... suspected it might be the case ! Anyway know how longs Notts Constabulary normally take for a FAC application ? as soon as the application gets to FHQ they will cash the cheque before sending the main doc up to mansfield. as for time limits - mine took around 3 months, then some more to clear the land.
