    You'll be fine......the only way the OR would smack your legs is IF you took a ton of cash off the card & went on a spending spree with it

    I worried about every little thing, even down to the cost of a trip to the zoo :eek:

    I wouldn't worry too much about £30 but just to help put your mind at ease a little more, often when payments are taken late there is still a traceable transaction date which can show you made the purchase much earlier than it was debited.

    We got a weeks shopping on ours the week before our BR hearing, forms had been submitted online, we knew what we were doing was so wrong but had no choice, I nervously told the judge (silly s*d!) and then I explained to the OR right after and then again at interview, absolutely fine, no problem and I think my my honesty and panic helped them relise I wasn't a bad bad soul.. just idiotic :)

    Confused, I have delight in passing over my panic button to you:D

    Like everyone said It'll be fine.

    I worried about the self same thing a few months back and I was re-assured that all would be fine and they were all right!

    It's one of those worries that will come out in the wash-I only realised after speaking to the OR that they are indeed human after all and although they follow a code of conduct they are also employ common sense and reason to each issue based on the circumstances.
    There used to be a street named after Chuck Norris, but it was changed because nobody crosses Chuck Norris and lives.
