Waiting time for first adult passport

The request was refused by HM Passport Office.

Dear HM Passport Office,

I sent away for my first adult passport 7th june 2014 (i was only ever on my mothers passport as a child)and as of yet have not had any letter for an interview or any of my supporting documents back. I have called the passport office and awaiting a call as they also said I should have heard something by now especially as I used check and send with the post office but coming up to the 6 weeks point i am wondering how much longer this is going to take. It is even more worrying seeing as we had similar problem with my husbands replacement passport a few months ago when it was taking longer than expected and I have heard many horror stories this year regarding passports and waiting times, and now I am getting slightly worried.

Yours faithfully,
