Estroller:


For house purchase, you don't get to withdraw the money personally, it goes to your conveyancer who adds it together with your deposit for onward transfer to the seller or developer.

Retirement, I guess proof of retirement/attaining state pension age or something in that regard.

It can also be withdrawn if the account holder is terminally ill, this should be easy to prove.

This is not the correct thread to post this.

tjsadiq:
Hi everyone , a friend wants to apply for post study visa but her passport has expired, she has applied for a new passport but its not out yet. Her visa expires in less than 4 weeks.

What can she do?

What Visa type are you on? If on Tier 4 ...you must submit your BRP card with your application form but ensure you enclose a self-address stamped envelope that you track its return. If on Tier 2 or you have a British passport, then you can avoid this.

LORETA:
Good evening Gurus
DVLA.......Please I just got my application form by post for Provisional driver liscence....I dont want to submit my international passport or BRP card....what else can I use to prove my identity as I fill and post the application back?

Amoj4682:
Grandma is visiting us from the US will registering her at the gp be free? Please someone answer. Though they asked for proof of address and she doesn't have any bill to her name. How can I get proof of address

Excellent. You should get access to download and sign up on their app. It would direct you on how to setup the direct debit. Welcome on board, use wisely, don't spend more than you have on your bank account.

Datakey:



Thanks

I just got the Amex card with 1K limit.

How do I set up a direct debit to clear up the credit used?

Want to use the card to build up my credit

Ukliving:

Because they asked about driving offences and penalties

You can retry or contact customer support team. Their details is in the website

Datakey:


I missed out on that. Is there no way I can check if I was rejected or approved ?

Jump on the 1-2 yrs COS and do maximum time. The new regulation won't affect those already in before the implementation of the new rules. Staying on the old 5 year COS may affect the person when applying for ILR in the future because of the inconsistent work hours.

adekzy:


Help me alaysw this situation here,

I have someone on a 5yrs COS (entered March 2023) but her work shift is inconsistent (25-30hrs weekly). She later got another sponsorship offer 1-2yrs COS (because she's changing sponsorship) and the maximum working time of over 40hrs is 100% sure.

Is it advisable she stick with her old COS with less work time or opt for the new offer starting from January 2024.

With her renewal of new COS in 1-2yrs time (if she went with that option) won't all this inconsistent policy affects her application if her salary fails to meet the salary threshold.

I believe the person can only do 20hrs for another care company and not outside of the care occupation.

lightofjoy:
Hello house, please someone was a teacher in UK before as cover supervisor but now on care COS, can the person do the extra 20 hours overtime teaching?
Hope this won't affect?.
Thanks

Good morning. It should display on your screen the outcome of your application after submitting your details. Perhaps you missed out on this. If successful and approved, you should get your card in 10 working days.

Datakey:


Good morning and how long does it take Amex to respond to a CC application? I applied on the 26th and yet to hear from them and I don't even know how to check if the application was successful

Because they are different and calculate using different algorithms.

There are three main credit reporting companies - Equifax, Experian and TransUnion. Totally Money use TransUnion while Clears score use Equifax.

gmacnoms:
Ehen. Why is my score on Experian different from the one in TotallyMoney.

🤣

Each time you apply for and get multiple CC, it affects your credit score because they see you as wholly dependent on credits.

Also allow the CC companies get their money from you through the direct debit instead of paying it off manually but don't owe past the due date so as not to incurr charges.

cbn4main:
Elders in the house, I thought having a well managed CCs is a good way to building one's credit score. Why is my case different na? Here is my journey so far:

I and my partner arrived the UK in August last year. I tried to get CCs for both of us but were denied by AMEX, monzo and Lloyd's. Luckily for us, it didn't affect our Credit score. My partner is a full time worker while I was a student working part-time.
I decided not to apply again until last month.
My partner got accepted by two CC companies (zable and Capital one) while I applied for only Zable and got as well. Whenever we use the CCs we pay back latest after 1 to 2 days. We try to maintain a zero balance.

I recently checked our Credit scores on Transunion, they were OK. But to my greatest surprise, my partner's score on Experian had dropped by over 100 points within one month of using CC and reported a credit balance of just £28 out over £400 credit limit. While mine reported zero balance but dropped by only 1 point. My experian credit score remain Fantastic.

My question is, elders in the house, does it mean it's better not to have a CC? How would they drastically reduce my partner's credit score when im no get any due repayment (just £28 she spent and she paid back the next day or so ).

Make una help biko

E don bi for this coach.... Gone in the morning it would be 😂

Mallam Nasir El-Rufai is cooking..wetin he dey cook is what we know not at the moment.

He visited President Buhari in Daura..then, went to Niger state to visit President Babangida...Now, he was at Ogun State to visit President Obasanjo ...

Hmm..

You have got a very powerful visa though so make the most out of it now before all the rogbodiyan take over

Since you got some skills ...next would be to start updating your CV to match the UK format (if you haven't already done that) and begin searching for jobs in that line.

Lilymond:
I hold a dependent visa
Searching for any job at all.
Can make many Nigerian dishes, data Analyst, hair stylist, Farmer. Was a public health worker before I left Nigeria. But don't wanna venture into that cos I lack the necessary trainings, so I need a job that requires little or no training so as to save up money for the necessary trainings. For now, I have no choice doing any legit work, hence it pays my bills. Thanks

What made you conclude you had malaria to start with? You ought to go for proper checks and stop medicating. e hard you to go to the hospital because of the cost but wen babe say con take kpekus for Sokoto, you nor go mind travel there from PH ....dey play with your health

Hard luck though but try and go for check up.

Whizzdom:
On Tuesday (21-12-2023), I was having serious fever, so went to buy an over-the-counter malaria drug and one flu tablet. The lady chemist told me to use 4 tablets in the morning and 4 in the afternoon for the malaria drug, but for the Flu medicine, I should use 1 tablet in the morning and at night. I took 4 tablets in the afternoon that day. On the next day, which is Wednesday, I took 4 tablets making 8 tablets in total plus 1 Flu tablet, A few hours after I took that medicine, I felt a sharp pain in my left hear, after which the pain subsided.

I am Welder by profession, I went to work that same moment, at work, I was using a grinding machine to grind iron to make iron smooth, the machine makes noise, but this day, as I was grinding, I could feel something in my brain or inner ear bringing buzzing sound or noise into my ear, after grinding that iron, I couldn't ear anything, all I was hearing is just noise.

The next day, which is today Thursday, I could hear people speak but they have to be loud, and my ears can't tolerate noise at all.

To go hospital hard me because I no gallant because of the series of test they will have me run which will expend my money I don't have.

My question is to the learned health practitioners in the house, should I give it time for it to heal on its own or I should go to the hospital for doctor's opinion on the matter.

Attached are the medicines for your scrutiny, I hope it is not one of those fake drugs.

Online marketplace in Naija is not a viable business for now. Advise is invest 50% in your relocation US, Canada or UK in this order if what you studied is worth the pain.

Miracle112:
Hello Nlanders..
please I need advice on whether to relocate abroad or stay and invest in Nigeria .
I just graduated from the university and I’ll turn 28 in a few months time.
I come from a very poor family, I sponsored myself through the university as matter of fact I am the first graduate in the family.
I am here to seek advice from experts and enlightened nairalanders.
I have over 50m in real estate and I intend to sell 50% of my properties to raise funds for an online marketplace i intend to launch in Nigeria but I’m having a double mind as there’s no 100% guarantee that the business will succeed…
Since I just graduated from the university, should I rather use 25m to relocate abroad and further my studies or stay in Nigeria and invest the 25m ?
I don’t want to regret selling my properties to relocate abroad for studies.. I don’t even know if 25m would be enough to further my studies in any first world countries since I’ll have no support from family.

So my people, should I japa for studies with 25m or stay an invest in my fatherland?

For those wondering how I made over 50m as a fresh graduate. I didn’t make the money in 1 day or 1 month. I do land banking, crypto trading and farming.

These ones really think anyone would support their strikes assuming it was genuine? Werey de disguise. The people been crying about the sufferings dem never call for strike but the minute den whooose their leader, wahala den begin call for strike. Their leader better pass the poor masses 😌

Why would things be cheaper in Ado Ekiti when they virtually procure those things from Lagos to resell incurring more expenses along the way.

Jbleenk:
Is it me or things have gone wild in Nigeria?

Traveled to Ado Ekiti to visit my dad, decided to branch a super market in Ado thinking things will be considerably cheap than it is in Lagos.

I ended up spending 75k in buying just a handful of stuffs. I was gutted. How are people surviving in Nigeria?

ehizario2012:



Hahahahaha... See there's sense in that talk even if funny.

Talking about flu vaccine, we all applied to our GP for vaccine, they gave us a date, Dec 8.

Before the appointment, I received an SMS that the appointments were cancelled. So we approached the hospital and they said the children in school should collect from school, another appointment was fixed for the baby at home, she's less than 3 years old... They said me and wife should go and pay for our own

Na children this land dey favour pass
