PAYMENTS
|
|
|
|
|
How secure is WorldPay?
|
|
|
|
|
WorldPay uses state of the art security tools and techniques, both proprietary and
unique, to ensure that seller and shopper are protected against what is nowadays
a virtually non-existent risk. WorldPay systems also have inbuilt system redundancy
and fault tolerance, to provide with a virtually uninterrupted service 24 hours
a day, seven days a week. WorldPay systems have evolved over many years and throughout
the history WorldPay have continuously sought and gained bank approval for their
systems. by using industry standard SSL, Thawte and WorldPay's unique encryption
system, all the card details are encrypted before they reach the WorldPay system.
What happens is when a shopper fills in the payment form and clicks the 'Submit'
button, their details are not sent straight-away. Instead a secure link is set up
between the shopper's browser and WorldPay producing a private/public encryption
code which then wraps the transaction details before leaving the shopper's premises.
|
|
|
|
|
Is PayPal secure?
|
|
|
|
|
PayPal automatically encrypts your confidential information in transit from your
computer to theirs using the Secure Sockets Layer protocol (SSL) with an encryption
key length of 128-bits (the highest level commercially available). Before you even
register or log in to their site, their server checks that you're using an approved
browser - one that uses SSL 3.0 or higher. Once your information reaches them, it
resides on a server that is heavily guarded both physically and electronically.
Their servers sit behind an electronic firewall and are not directly connected to
the Internet, so your private information is available only to authorised computers.
|
|
|
|
|
PayPal is not able to process my credit card. How else can I pay?
|
|
|
|
|
Some cards may not be accepted through PayPal. We recommend you to try and use Worldpay
to make your payment or another debit or credit card to pay for your order.

About the British Citizenship Test
|
|
|
|
|
I have been studying and practicing the 1st edition hand book and
questions. Can I still take the test?
|
|
|
|
|
You can take the test based on first edition till September 2007. You have
to inform the test centre you have studied the first edition book before you sit
for the exam.

|
Who need to take this test?
|
|
|

to Remain) have to pass this test.
|
|
|
|
|
If someone whose first language is English, or has lived and been
educated here, do they still has to take the test?
|
|
|
|
|
Legally, it is not possible for the Home Office just to assume that someone who
was born in an English-speaking country has a good knowledge of English, let alone
life in the United Kingdom. Each individual must be able to prove this, and Home
Office thinks this is the easiest way for them to do so.
|
|
|
|
|
Can anyone be exempt from taking the test?
|
|
|
|
|
Anyone over the age of 65 is exempt from taking this test. The grounds for exemption
of younger people need to be compelling, such as where the applicant:

mobility and ability to attend language classes; or
