Hi all,
I was hoping for some insight regarding my circumstances prior to submitting our application, specifically regarding the 'no live trace' status of my police certificate.
The 'stepped down' circumstances on my record pertain to:
- 'Taking Motor Vehicle Without Consent' from September 2003 where I received a reprimand (as a 15 year old)
- 'Arson' from November 2004 (I was 17) where I received a warning.
To elaborate further, the 'taking a motor vehicle' was theft of a golf buggy as a stupid school kid and the 'arson' occurred in my father's house and was an accident.
As you can see the incidents were quite some time ago and under the age of 18.
From what I've read, if I were to send off the police certificate with no live trace and no explanation with my application I'll almost certainly receive a request for further info thus delaying my application.
Therefore I intend to supply along with the police certificate:
- A copy of the subject access report (I have requested it now and via email).
- A letter written by me providing further explanation.
So I guess what I'm asking is:
1) Is it a good idea to supply the further info with my application?
2) Whilst I know people can only offer an opinion, what are the chances these impact my application?
