Electricity bill, phone bill etc., even credit card bill, or are these no good?

No biggie - provided you can finds what they want.

I can't, as of now ....
It can be any sort of bill paper / electronic if they're in your partners name just change the name of the person who made the online application .... Anything with name and address on will do ...

It has to be a utility bill, not a credit card, phone, etc ('with usage appropriate to your family' - whatever that means...)

Ours are electronic, and the water is 6 monthly & not recent enough. Last gas & eletric one was May, and they send a statement every 6 months ...

Meh.

In this situation I usually just suggest that you send off copies of what you have got - Child Benefit letter, water bill, print out of online gas/electricity bills, copy of child's medical card.

Admissions don't have an agenda to make life difficult for genuine applicants. If you can't find a council tax bill, you can't find it. Provide a good range of evidence and that will be enough for them. They can always ask for more if they want it, and if it still isn't enough, just invite them to come for a cup of tea. :D

They've sent a reply, saying I should send the most recent energy bill, even if it's older than 3 months, and they'll see if they can accept it. So, they are being reasonable.

Cheers.
