Choi, how many months did it take?
Mine took a dive but I noticed Amex increased just increased my available credit

My 2nd month using it, used just 14% of available credit in my first month and paid on time

Got into the country, January of this year. I've been doing things around it since then. But I got Amex credit card in May.

Nice. I had my credit limit increased on Amex too, three months after I joined.

1. You can use Experian still. You don't have to pay the monthly subscription fee. The subscription only shows you tips you won't see on the free version.

2. I'm not totally sure on this.

3. False. I check my scores as often as I want without any impact.

4. Credditladder. Sign up. Then connect your bank account. Select the particular payment reference you use when sending money to your landlord. Since it's a monthly trend, Credditladder will be notified the moment you pay for every other month. Just make sure you stick to sending your house rent on same day, each month.
Is using Creditladder free?

It is. But you are limited to the credit agencies they report your house rent payment to; they report to only 1 of the 3. You make the selection by yourself.

If you want them to report to all 3, you pay £8 monthly or an annual £60.

If by the end of September, you still haven't seen it on your credit score, you can mail them.

2. I'm currently using only one myself. cheesy As long as you are able to manage them, having more that one seems nice.

I might get another one soon. I use Amex, it doesn't work in a lot of places, so you still have to hold your debit card.

I got another CoS from my employer. Reapplying for another skilled visa and withdrawing the old application.

I will be opting to use ID check app and priority service because I am not sure of dates available for physical biometric (my patience is running thin and waiting 3-4 week for biometric date fit make me lose it).

Fingers crossed.

Got my Skilled Worker Visa (H&C) decision today at 7:58pm.

I am over the moon.

I am glad I chose to reapply after waiting over 6 months.

Hello there, my people.

longest time o. How is this increase in energy affecting life here? I understand that now is not the best time to switch energy providers, but biko I dislike prepaid because at my previous residence, I was spending up to £120 per month on both gas and electricity, and this is me being frugal o. Take note that I was the only one who stayed at this time. Now that I've moved to another house with postpaid, my life has been wonderful. The estimated cost of gas and electricity is less than 50 pounds. So, I'm planning on moving out again, but provider are British Electricity and Scottish Gas, both of which are prepaid. I'd like to go postpaid. Is there a way to do this?

Did you mean British Gas, instead of British Electricity? Note that both British Gas and Scottish Gas are the same company - when British Gas operates in Scotland, it trades under the name of Scottish Gas, but both are the same company.

Regarding the substance of your question - you can speak with British Gas and tell them you want to install a smart meter in your flat. You can also let them know that you want your electricity service to be postpaid, which can be serviced through direct debit. I use British Gas smart meter and it is postpaid. It is, as you noted, much more cheaper and cost effective than prepaid.

All the best.

Do you know that you can actually trace a vehicle, a vehicle driver or owner who has

- committed a hit and run on you or your car.
- driven off with your goods.
- stolen and abandoned a vehicle near you
- parked a vehicle on your property.
- driven off without paying for goods and services.
You ‘ll need the vehicle registration number for this on DVLA’s site.


And if your desire is to buy a car, especially used car, you can use ‘ask MID’ - to know an insured vehicle and the DVLA service to get detailed info about the car before buying.
Ask the seller for
the registration number
make of the car
model of the car
and MOT test number.

Either you desire to seek redress or make a buy decision; it’s simple, just head to DVLA’s website with the vehicle’s registration number, request info about the vehicle’s ‘registered keeper’, and use info gotten to seek redress or make an informed decision.
