Applying for a job at the post office for customer facing sales role. and on the application form it wants me to include any cautions including for driving.

The only thing I ever got was a caution  for possession when I was 18 which is now over 16 years ago. Is this likely to be detrimental. I m hoping the time frame and the fact it was for non fraud related issue I may be ok??

Anyone any experiences. Its the 1st time anyones asked about cautions its usually convictions for which I gladly have none.

I CRB people who work for me. It will be long gone, anything not including going to jail for more than a certain period of time is wiped after I think six years. I had a drink driving conviction ten years ago, court, ban, community service etc and nothing showed up on my CRB. I wouldn't even mention it.

I think this suggests your caution will not show up in a check.

Not strictly true. ABH/GBH etc will still on your record even from 20 years ago regardless if you went to jail or not.

Cautions etc should be wiped along with section 90 and other minor codes of offence.

One warning though.  Don’t mess about with visa applications.  I told a few porky pies on my Australian visa app last winter regards criminal records.  Bloody copper stopped me literally as I had got past the last check and was walking up toward the plane.  Asked me a few questions, I lied again.  Then he took my passport away and returned a few mins later and asked me again, and recommended that I tell the truth this time.  I told the truth and he let me go but I was bricking it for the next week when I was in Indonesia thinking they weren’t gonna let me in to Aus, or perhaps not let me get on the plane at Singapore even.  Just walked through no worries in the end but it sh1t me up big time.  Still don’t know what that copper’s game was seeing as he didn’t effectively do anything even though he knew I had lied on my visa app.  Save yourself the hassle and tell the truth on visa apps.

I have a pal who met an Australian lass, he moved to Australia and was sponsored for a while, got married and now has Australian citizenship. However he has outstanding fines from 20 years ago for ABH,  he managed to slip under the radar regarding not revealing his conviction to Australian authorities.

Now he wants to visit the UK to see his old friends and family but keeps on bottling it in case he gets collard. I can`t see him ever coming back to visit now.

Surely unpaid fines from 20 years ago have expired

What about the interest?
Report Angel Gabrial January 8, 2015 7:40 PM GMT
No Slippy, the ABH is still there on the CRB and the default is also registered.

A defaulted fine would not appear on your criminal record Crazy
Report Angel Gabrial January 8, 2015 8:04 PM GMT
But the ABH doesCrazy

The default will still be registered with the courts, if there is a warrant for unpaid fines and you leave the country do you think that the warrant becomes statute barred after 6 years?
Report Angel Gabrial January 8, 2015 8:07 PM GMT
His fear is that someone will grass him up once he gets back, is collard for fleeing the country with paying his court fines, the British authorities contact the Australian authorities and it all gets messy.

If it was say council tax there maybe a possibility a warrant may have been issued but it wouldn't still be on there now, no chance. ABH would though of course and rightly so.
Report Hamsterdam January 8, 2015 8:12 PM GMT
What were the fines for? The ABH is the overriding factor here, regardless.
Report Angel Gabrial January 8, 2015 8:31 PM GMT
The court fines are for the ABH Hamster.

Court costs/compensation around £600

Sorry to go off topic.Say if you booked a 1 way flight to Australia and deliberately got deported a few weeks later, would they pay your flights back home??Seems like a great way to save money on holidays.


They deport you to North Korea.
