Thanks so much! I still can't believe this.

Items sent from Abuja on Friday 6th was delivered today

Shiping cost was very cheap compared to EMS Nipost that takes 4-6weeks sef

Please, are they the ones that purchase the items for you? Send and delivered same?

Please how did you contact them and how did you make the payment? Been trying to get them on Instagram but their response time is too slow.

What sites have you been checking: Experian, Clearscore, CreditKarma or TotallyScore?

Your record may not come up on all. I'd advise you check all four.

Are you on electoral register? Are you reporting any other bill?

Meanwhile, two months seems like a short time to be super worried about credit score if you've actually done the basics - register, bank, contract and bill reportings. You might have to give it more time.

I am on the electoral register and I pay CT too.
I was just curious, not exactly worried. Thanks for your response

Someone took the items to their Abuja office, they weighed and gave us the price which we paid. See attached a screenshot of their office addresses and choose the one that applies.

Quick one, ensure all items are packed in ziploc bags. Mine wasn't and I had to pay them to pack in transparent bags.


@Khams, they only shipped my items after I got someone to buy on my behalf

Excellent. Thank you for this. Very much appreciated.

If the cost of living in those other developed countries are higher and its a green grass syndrome, how come there is a wide margin of disposable household income per capita to the UK? It means they are earning way enough to pay their bills and still have a wider margin left. Or could it just be because some of them are larger economies and people are overworking( working beyond 35hrs/week? I want to believe UK tax system is alot beneficial to majority of people at the lower end of scale i.e low income earners. Just thinking out loud. Here is the margin.

After all, we're British and moved to New Zealand 5 years ago and we're now planning a move back to the UK. At this point, I'd happily move to the US for a couple of years sef but we will return to the UK.

In many expat FB groups, Aussies, Kiwis and of course Americans are trying to move to Europe aka UK because - lower pay yes but also, lower cost of living, shorter working hours, more annual leave, more worker and renters protections to name but the few benefits


Na green grass syndrome dey worry everyone. Plus the British are awesome at whinging. Complaining about how shit the UK is is a national past time. Sotay their nickname here in the antipodes is whinging poms!

There's a difference between business analysis and business analytics. CBAP/BCS BA Foundations shares knowledge on business analysis. He can undertake Google/AWS Certified Data Analytics if he's keen on developing his business analytics skills.

I totally agree!

Hi Guys, I would like to find out if the 10-15% service charge in the bills of all these fancy restaurants in the UK are compulsory to pay ?

I want to stop paying it, is it weird to ask the waiter or cashier to remove it from my bill ?

You can ask them to take it off your bill, its not compulsory, especially if you received a poor service.

Has anyone here applied for the Police character certificate from Nigeria High commission? If yes how long did it take before you received the certificate. Since I haven't stay up to 5 years here I need the certificate for my new employer ( the government ) to carry out criminal record check. The said the one I have is expired and won't be accepted.

Please any useful response will be appreciated.

Would you share the info

My friend just got a DevOps role

Hi everyone.

While trying to fill out job applications, I often get to this section where I'm asked if I identify as trans, my sexual orientation, religion, etc...

Subconsciously, I often feel they're trick questions and I'm always torn between choosing "Prefer not to say" rather than a blunt "No", especially to the gender inclusive questions...

I honestly do not care much about sexual orientation, gender assignment/tags or religion but then again, I do not want to be sidelined because of a perceived misconception about my profile...

I'd appreciate any inputs please. Does all that really matter, significantly?

mizGene:

I think they will, a friend of mine did it, they only sent a mail for him to provide an updated right to rent share code when their record showed the previous one was about to expire

Alright thank u

It shouldn't because legally, those are only viewed in aggregate for statistics reporting, so they're effectively anonymous. And many HR software won't even let the hiring manager see those answers at all.

HOWEVER, we know people don't always follow the rules, plus in a small pool of applicants it may be possible to single people out.

What I'd do is just select 'prefer not to say'. Let their imaginations run wild that maybe you're afraid of persecution because you are one of those things...or whatever

Hi everyone, please I am looking for a 2 bedroom accommodation to rent in northwest, west or east London with a budget of 1400. Thank you. Please if you know anyone that have a 2 bedroom to rent in London let me know so that I can check if it close to my work place. Thank you so much for your time.

Hi everyone,

A relatively just got his student dependent visa and it has no work no public funds instead of restricted work. Please do you advise he fixes the issue before coming or after coming. Which would be faster. Thank you

Please kindly throw more light on this bill reporting. I have been paying my rent by setting up a direct debit on my lloyds account, i expect that to impact on my credit score, but i can't see any sign that this is being reported nor does it indicate.

Thank you for responding. Although, the issue is on the visa not the brp. He hasn't travelled yet.

I will suggest he rectifies it in-country. It can take an average of 6 weeks and can't work. It can be tracked too

I think you will have to take it back to the centre but can take weeks to issue a new vignette if you decide to go through this route.

I checked on my Lloyd's Bank app. It's the 2nd tab below your account balance on the home screen.

How did you check your credit score? I have spent about two months in the country and i tried checking on clearscore but its saying nothing is coming up. I have a SIM contract and I have set up DD for my electricity bill
