And then you will complain about politicians that get into government office and raid the treasury because they spent a lot of money for nomination forms and campaigning. No matter how we try to sugarcoat it or dress it up. When you take something that doesn’t belong to you. It’s called stealing.

Ok sir/ma, rest now please. Thank u

Hello My Ogas

I have a question

To build up credit without going the CC way, which one is the most advisable or the best option to speed it up

- Buying and paying items using PayPal credit (3 times payments)
- Changing from maybe Lebara to O2 contract plan
- Using the Monese credit builder option for 1 year (costs around 7GBP per month)

Kindly advise

Thanks!

If they all report to credit agencies, I think you can combine all. Lol. Klana also started reporting to credit agencies at the start of this month.

I think this credit thing is very important, a bro who is a Dr here wants to get house on mortgage and was told his credit is bad despite the fact that he buys and pays everything with his debit card. Mortgage guy called him to get a credit card and start using it,according to him as I don’t know how true that is,,I think that thing is very important abroad unlike in Nigeria where we buy everything in cash.

Yes they all do

Yeah, Klana has just started too

PayPal actually warned me that they report to credit agencies.

Monese's programme is to do help with credit so they report to the agencies. I just would like tok know which is faster and maybe better in the long run so i wont just be doing the same thing in different places

I'll take the O2 plan over the other 2 options. Also try to have your name added to one or all of your bills if you haven't already, plus use your overdraft facility if you have one and you'll be fine.

I'm currently on lebara, if I move to O2, will my current plan move there?

I am currently on one unlimited plan like that

Does the overdraft help in any way?

Good evening bro.. December is a long time ago.. if you can help me get someone who travelled down recently I will appreciate it please.. thanks...

wwww.gov.uk is the Bible for travel into the UK amongst other policies.
If you have gone on there you will see irrespective of vaccination status, all can come into the UK with no further requests.. no PLF , no vaccination cards and no tests are required for inward travel to the UK.
What else do you want to hear as I feel the govt’s website is clear enough.
If u decide to transit via Istanbul or Qatar through to the UK, the same applies.
I know I said this before to you. at least govt’s website should serve the purpose at the end of the day. If you decide against travel advisory on www.gov.uk please by all means do pcr test for day 2,8 and 10 and book 14 day quarantine

Or perhaps you are a 1st time traveller, if you know the rules you stick by it. Do not allow immigration to intimidate you

I think sim only contract from O2 will help
Also, getting UK driving license too ( I've heard a few number of people ask If I had one)
I think the essence of this scoring system is to show you're credible not necessarily about your bank balance.

I've had water bill addressed to me because the water company found out I live in the apartment based on credit reports. (My landlord does not live the apartment, so no one replies the water company)

I doubt you'll be able to. You'll have to take out a new plan with O2

Yes it does if used sensibly, it's a form of credit so your bank will report your usage to credit reference agencies.

I just would like to retain my old number hence the reason for asking about the plan

I might just wait until the plan expires before migrating

Many thanks

This is an outright untruth.
NO WHERE in the UK will Tier-4 students get COUNCIL HOUSES.

The writer of this fallacy simply chose to pull the wool on the faces of vulnerable individuals by deliberately creating the (false and wrong) impression that Council House = Housing Association. The two are not the same.

Did you bother to check my subsequent posts where I reiterated and emphasized on housing association.

Why not calm your raging nerves and adjust your point view.

Makes sense. I've been reporting my house rent payment to Credditladder since February, they are suppose to report to Transunion, but my Transunion credit score hasn't moved since February!

You dont have any moral right to complain. U engaged in something corrupt and still calling the system names. Come to think of it most times those people who collect miney for closer date are just hustlers. They just sit there and keep refreshing and do all sorts of tricks to get closer date. 50k for iom cert is for what exactly?
