I will let you know what happens once I have completed it - thank you

When i said it says to send them the crb / dbs - i meant the ref number. There is nowhere to write "disclosed offences" anywhere on the form or otherwise - I have scanned everything that mentions DBS / CRB in the whole pack: CRB Introduction Letter (Front): CRB Introduction Letter (Back): PCO CRB Section: Full PCO Form Link: http://www.tfl.gov.uk/assets/downloads/private-hire-driver-application-pack.pdf Timez

Thank you all for your help - case closed i think - really good this forum actually i gotta say! Really apprechiate it all Timez

I don't know what you mean by put them down? - on the application form for the licence it does not ask about convictions etc - just says send us the crb / dbs you get sent - which I will do (which will have everything on it) The whole section about the crb / dbs just says send it in - which I will. At the shortest - roughly 5 - 10 years ago - nothing recent.

yes i think they are different things

It isnt a hackey carraige licence - or a local authority one - but public carraige office licence - also known as private hire driver

yeah but not for black cabs - but just minicabs - already answered that in my first reply

It was when i was still drunk - and as i say I dont know what the actual caution was for specfically - only what it was about generally - so I dont know what to disclose? I just looked through the PCO form and there is no box to write "disclosed offences" in - or anything like that. So cannot disclose it on the form anyway? Just says - send off for the DBS and write the refrence number.

ok thank you - just wanted to know if i was throwing the money down the drain for them to then refuse it - I will send off for it knowing it will probabbly be fine

I have no criminal record at all - never been convicted for anything - only the cation from scotland (whatever that was actually for) and arrest for the "theft" that was not theft - as even those will most likly come up - Do you think they will refuse my application? as i say - i have zero convictions and have no criminal record.

yes as in public carriage office london

Hi, I am concerned about what the PCO will think of these things if they come up on my E-CRB check... I have been told by the police that i have no convictions whatsoever on my record but... -------------- In Scotland years ago I got drunk with my friend and fell asleep outside a house - unknown to me he went inside and I dont even know what he did. Then he came outside and fell asleep next to me - the police found us and arrested both of us - They were trying to say we had both broke in - and although i kept protesting my innocence - they said if i dont accept a cation we will be kept there for a long time (this was before i knew about maximum detention times) - I stupidlly accepted (as i was still drunk) - and I dont even know what the cation was for - possiblly breaking and entering - or even burgurlly - im just guessing though. Will this show up in a E-CRB in england? - and if so - is it going to stop me getting the licence? -------------- A couple of years ago I had to confiscate my mothers bank card as she suffers from mental health problems - I did not draw any money out - or even try - and i acted well within the law (under the mental health act) - it ended as no further action - but as all arrests are going to show up it will say arrested for theft. -------------- A few years before that I got a cannabis warning. -------------- I understand I can request what will show up with a police subject access request - but as it will take upto 40 days - that means my application will have to be put on hold for that time (as i dont want to waste £55 for nothing). I am really worried about these things - and the pottential waste of money. If anyone could advise on what I could do - I really don't know - and will wait the 40 days if i have to but really wanted to sort it out sooner. Thank you for your help Timez

Yeah i got actual BT Business. its ok i think your ideas of trying to get them to do something with the fee (by saying about other companes) and failing that getting them to spread the cost over a few bills. - was hard enough finding this part of the forum lol - let alone the busness bit. thanks for all your help though - least i can actually afford it if they spread it. Timez

I tried the line - completlly dead. I did try to find a site that did that - but i couldnt find a good one for buiness ones, if you know any i would love to try. Timez

It was done online lol. Yes defo for the engineer fee - says it on the letter they sent me. Its probabbly because i have to get buisness broadband (for the static ip) - they were doing free connection on residential but not buisness. ill check the line later when i can find a phone - now where did i pack that - damn.
