Hmmmm have you registered on the UK electoral roll? Do you have direct debit payments to your utility bills running? Must be something you are doing wrong. I was fortunate to have gotten mine approved the same month I got in here. All the best

Hi.
Great question. The UK has recently introduced a few different routes into teaching. In order to aid my response to your enquiry, could you be nice enough to answer the following:

a. do you have any experience and/or certification in teaching?

b. are you inside/outside the UK currently?

CelebritiesRe: Murphy Afolabi Dies After Bathroom Fall by bigtt76(f): 5:15pm On May 14, 2023
Probably they used a wrong floor tile for the bathroom. You know builders sometimes don't know the difference and or try to cut costs.



Dialpad:
RIP........ unbelievable, Murphy was a talented actor.

The cause of death is scary.

He must have slipped and hit his head hard on the floor.

Builders in the house, how can we have safer bathrooms to avoid occurrences like this.


We can all try get this bathroom mat

TravelRe: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 2) by bigtt76(f): 10:07pm On May 12, 2023
Hmmm ...I think you might be required to register the card on their platform first since its not your passport.

hopefully, paying for my child's application with my card will be possible.. they don't expect a child to have a bank card already

Aphrodite007:
Ah I’m present oo! Sorry been flirting with the Canada thread because I wan leave una, run comot from this country.

Loads of things are wrong with the system that me I can’t shout about because if naija was ok, I won’t be here in the first place!!

My recent annoyance (ignoring the cost of living) is that it seems PSV is a scam. Most companies aren’t a recruiting graduates on PSV simply cos they may need sponsorship eventually .. but how come care homes are giving sponsorship like pure water??

So experienced people that ran from naija due to end SARS/buhari will come here and their only career for the next 5 years will be care? Haba! (PS nothing wrong with working in care but some of us did it as students not a career path. I’m offended they are stealing peoples potential!)

I love you all, but UK problem, ike a gwosiri’m -sorry igbo isn’t my first language- (it sha means my power have finish).
TravelRe: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 2) by bigtt76(f): 1:54pm On May 12, 2023
Log on to the Nigeria immigration website and select UK as your processing country. You will redirected to Innovate1service website where you go ahead to fill out your forms and pay online. Ensure that the name on your debit/credit card matches the name on your passport. The process is straightforward and something you can do yourself.

FamilyRe: How Do I Cope With The Loss Of My Sister? by bigtt76(f): 1:27pm On May 12, 2023
Sending you hugs dear. It is very normal to feel the way you are right now. Think of what you can do to keep her memory alive - start a charity in her name to cater to young girls her age ...not an expensive one but use the charity to celebrate her birthday each year and you will see how it goes.

RoyalBlu:
It's been over three weeks now I lost my younger sister to death. I'm still finding it really difficult to get myself together.

The pain of losing her so untimely has shaken me to my roots. The tears won't stop coming.

I've been told to try and move on and be strong. But howhuh embarassed

Unfortunately no but I would suggest logging on to Airbnb website and search from there. You might be lucky to stumble on a cheap one.

Yup the electorates are not close to the politicians or elected. If power to elect a prime minister lies in the hands of the people via their senators or reps, they will all sit up cheesy

So worrisome but same behaviour from back home now creeping in here. Another thing that hurts are those ones charging people for information. You come on NL to learn for free, get what you want and next thing you see them advertising one-on-one to 'advise you' eeeeeiiii cheesy Imagine oga Lexus and Justwise monetizing their experience on here ....but meh we all go alright las las. To think the person even came here to solicit advise but didn't see it fit to share speaks volume......whoever you are chop your employer oooo! cheesy cheesy cheesy


hustla:
I just tire for Nigerians, negativity full people body

You will enter Tesco and see all Indians working there, they obviously all shared info with each other and carry each other along. Na only Nigerians go different, hoarding everything smh

Anywhereworks, EE, Crossover and some others people have dropped in the past all offer remote jobs.
Some of them even ship equipment to you before you start to work with them

I wonder what they're trying to code for as if people who want to apply there won't still be scrutinized or dropped if they don't meet certain criteria

To each his own Sha, I'll not speak further

1. Chose Barclays as you are bound to get more experience mingling with in house staff and also opportunities available but not advertised especially as you intend to move away from CS job.

2. Not sure Revolut reports to credit score companies though but again it depends on what bill type you are paying for some might not be worth reporting if not in the list of those captured in the credit reports.

3. If you both have a joint account and paying from there may be or you both split the payment equally - you pay through yours and she does same too. Then you report through Credit ladder (use my referral link to register but do your due diligence oo).

You can also try getting a credit building Credit card if you are up for it - use my referral below

Check my other posts for guides but above all do your due diligence and spend responsibly ooo 😀

Good evening,

I recently got a customer service offer with bill gosling outsourcing(BGO) and Barclays. Barclays salary is just about £2k higher than BGO. Both are hybrid(1 day in the office for BGO and 2 days in the office for Barclays).
Which would you advise I choose for growth opportunities and possibly future opportunities to switch if I have more qualifications and wishes to change career from Customer Service role.

Secondly, does direct debit on online banks like Revolut count towards credit score ? Or it must be Main Street Bank ?

Lastly please, if we pay rent using my partner bank account, is there a way both of us can benefit from credit score boosting through rent reporting ?
