they hold on me for the above purposes. If I have not supplied correct information or supporting docu-
mentation to the Home Office the bank or utility company may disclose my relevant correct personal
data.
If the information or supporting documentation also contains personal data relating to a joint customer
or customers of mine on the bank or utility company account, or relates to another person who is to
provide financial support, I confirm that I have obtained the consent of those persons to the disclosure
of their personal data to the extent reasonably necessary for the above purposes.

people, each of those others should sign the following declaration :
The above-named person (‘the applicant’) has given the Home Office documentation about his or her
accounts with banks or utility companies (a ‘company’) so that the Home Office can check that is cor-
rect. I am a joint customer with the applicant on some or all of those accounts. Information about the
applicant may thus also reveal information about me.
I agree to the company giving the Home Office relevant personal data it holds about me in relation to
the account. This only covers data about me as joint customer with the applicant (and not about any
other accounts I hold in my sole name) and limited to what is necessary to confirm that the documenta-

the Home Office details of any inaccuracies / discrepancies in the information that the applicant has
provided, and may also disclose to the Home Office the correct information that they have on record
about the account.

 SECTION 7 - CONSENT FOR THE HOME OFFICE TO REQUEST
VERIFICATION CHECKS

If the account with the bank or utility company relates to another person who is to provide the
applicant with financial support, that person* should sign the following declaration :

I am a friend or relative whom the above-named person (‘the applicant’) has stated will provide finan-
cial support. The Home Office is verifying this by checking the documentation which the applicant has
supplied about my accounts with banks or utility companies (a ‘company’). The company may thus
reveal information about me to the Home Office or to the applicant.
I agree to the company giving the Home Office relevant personal data it holds about me in relation
to my account. This is limited to what is necessary to confirm that the documentation the applicant
has supplied is correct. If that documentation is not correct, the company may give the Home Office
details of any inaccuracies / discrepancies in the information that the applicant has provided, and may
also disclose to the Home Office the correct information that they have on record about the account.
I understand that this may involve the applicant obtaining further details about the account.
I agree that this information may be used as part of the decision making process about the application
