I use vpnify.......

Thanks. I see it’s £30 annually. Is there a cheat code, or is there a fee for outright purchase? Thanks again.

@Lesusgs430. Are there any recommendations for VPNs or methods to bypass geo-restrictions on a smart TV?

If you're under 40, put money into a LISA account (assuming you want to buy a new build)...... Start speaking to a broker/lender when your financial obligations are 90% ready).......
Does it mean we cannot buy old build with LISA fund?

Zonefree:
The idea of confessing your sins to your fellow man is what I don't understand about Catholic.




The Bible made it clear for us. Confess your sins to the Lord direct. Your pastor or Rev father cannot forgive your sins or even take you to Heaven.
James 5:16
16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

I used to think deals like this were scams, considering the price and the seller’s account. Have you had success buying from new users with prices way below market value?

Does anyone know if it’s possible to negotiate at Arnold Clark? I just spoke to a consultant who said their prices are lower price guaranteed, so as such, it’s fixed. Any tips? Thanks.

Good day, house

Please I need clarity on my credit journey.

In a quest to ramp up my credit history to position for early mortgage in the UK…

- I have tried to upgrade my contract only sim with Vodafone to phone + sim but got declined.

- I have tried to open (activate) my Experian account, also got declined because my details can’t be verified.

- My credit score with transunion seems to be crawling at 562 after 5 months of being in the UK.

- I didn’t qualify for CapitalOne Card.

- ClearScore (Equifax) didn’t also give me much product option

It’s looking to me like building my credit history will take minimum of 2 years to even begin the journey. Yet I keep seeing people here having fantastic credit score after 5 months of being in the Uk or getting a mortgage after 2 years.


My question:
What practical steps can I take to ramp up my credit history and position for early mortgage with my short UK residence history?


Thanks you 🙏
If you’re not registered to vote, that could be why you were declined. Please refrain from applying for any product without pre-approval, including a SIM contract. You can use Money Supermarket to find a SIM-only deal.

So I just got a credit card with high interest rate. The rate doesn't bother me anyway because my intention is to use the card to buy things from Asda for instance and then pay back to boost my credit limit limit and score. My question us this, should I always wait for them to send me statement or I should just return the money used as soon as I used it. Please help so as to avoid paying interest. Thanks.

The best practice is to set up a direct debit and try to keep your payment under control prior to your statement date, ensuring your statement always has a reasonable balance.

Brethren
In order to kill procrastination, I decided to select and book a date (17th of August) for my theory test...
Presently i do score 46/50 with the 4 in 1 app
So far 47 max however I do score 4/5 on the average on hazard perception but sometimes would score zero on the same hazard perception

Is there sth I have not understood or getting wrong
I get shocked and confused whenever this happens... I only use the 4 in 1 app (self study)

Elders and those who passed with the app
Abeg advise or recommend practice style/materials
Thank you

That’s quite enough time to prepare given your progress, and you have all the materials you need. But stop playing games with the hazard perception, try to understand how points are calculated. I’ll advise you start with the training videos again.

For CASH LISA account holders, do not forget to get the £4,000 into it to get the free 25% ((£1,000) by end of tax year in 5th April 2023. This could be used to deposit for your first mortgage house. Husband and wife less than 40 years could open this account and save upto £10,000 each tax year until both reach 50 years when you cannot save money in the LISA account.


For STOCK & SHARES ISA account holders, do not forget to max out the £20,000 allowance per tax year, 5th April, 2023. When you max out the £20k in stocks and shares ISA account, you can keep putting more funds in your General Investment Account.

There are so many stocks that are quite cheap in NYSE...you can cherry pick good dividend paying stocks with dividend yields upto 6-8%.

Remember that profits from stocks and share lSA account and dividend payments from your stocks and shares ISA account are not TAXABLE....tax man doesn't look into these earnings

Slow and steady win in the market....

HAPPY 2023.....

Hello, Which bank offers this LISA account option?
Or what is the process of opening a LISA account?
Thanks

Nice one. Did you registered successfully for ER or you were rejected? I got my AMEX within weeks of entering the UK.

You might be right on the Clearscore using Experian. Most of them interconnect but Experian takes longer to update your scores compared to TransUnion (I use them through Totally Money - free).



Hello, how did you go about the address thing. I cannot find a way to impute Nigerian address. And I still can't register with clearscore because they required 3years UK address. Is there something I am doing wrong?

Is it normal for a suggested name on squadhelp to be pending review for over a week?

Very normal this days. The once they don't like, they reject almost immediately. Let's say it has 70% chance of acceptance. Mine is 10 days now. They've rejected several batches.

Bro Please what' exactly are you doing to sell Geo's ds high? Whats the secret abeg

No secrets. It's just God, my first three offers feel through. Probably because buyer was sceptical about the price. First ever offer was 320 I accepted buyer got cold feet. Second was 150 same thing. Third was 350 but did not follow though. So I decided I'll always counter to check the seriousness because Dan pend your domain for as long as possible to get payment through.
Thanks guys for all the well wishes. Thanks to you too @thorrvik55. I can't wait for yours.

Lol. I thought as much. After all said and done, DO NOT regret the sale. Whatever money you may have left on the table by seemingly being in a hurry, see it as WORTHY payment for lesson well learnt.

Guy, everything. Before you start. Take time to read. I know how impossible to read the complete tread. But it shouldn't be too difficult reading individual stories. Also go to namepros beginners section. Finally follow this thread. https://www namepros com/threads/report-completed-domain-name-sales-here.83628/page-734

Thanks a lot for your response. I was reading some other people's experience on domain flipping online and not all of them were success stories. Some of them were stories of how they bought and bought but ended up not selling and that's wot discouraged me.

From my research so far, if one can sell acquired domains then it would be a very lucrative business...

Transcribing no easy oh. Anyways welcome. Flipping is the way to go. Just patiently read www.nairaland.com/haykay2005 all is message to get a clue on how someone can be successful. Then read page 1 to 50 the 120 to 170. Then join us. Then go to namepros/com beginners section.

Thraedz:
Bosses and veterans in this transcription job, what minimum and maximum duration of calls do you work on? I'm always on the look out for calls ranging from 2 to 4 minutes, but my earnings are low. I'm wary of long calls (6 mins and above) because I think they may be more difficult. Abeg, I need una opinion.

All calls are same quality. If you are good in 4 min. call you shouldn't have any issues with the 10 min. and above call except the usual stress.
Just know how to identify the good calls. 3min takes about and hour, 6 min 2 hours, 9min 3 hours, 12 mins 4 hours etc
