Me take a credit card ? You want me to send Ekiti thunder to take you down ?...... huh

I would never take or accept a credit card ............... Debts card are a menace to the sane world ......... Why would i allow a bank use me to feed large ?...?

I don't spend what i do not have ........ If i need money, i would apply for a very very low interest loan or simply remortgage ..........
Problem with bank loans is that they reduce your net income

I would personally advice you to stay off this debt card for now, till you fully understand financial/debt management in the UK.............
Take a credit card. and if you are afraid of it, start from £5/ month and pay off direct debit. Until you have a big liver to do 1000, but not on unnecessary expenses.

Elders in the house, thanks for always putting your girl through in this UK, it's not easy for JJC like us
I bank with Barclays and was offered a credit card with 29.9% APR. I had applied for one with 19.9% APR which was declined but they offered me this one instead. Is it a good bargain or I should continue in my search for a card with lesser APR?
Also, I would really appreciate if someone can tell me more about credit cards, no matter how much I read, all cards are the same to me except their different APR
I only need the card for building my credit score, please enlighten me
Thanks
The rates improve. Recently, i have been offered a 0% interest balance transfer and 0% interest cash transfer. This has come in handy as i foolishly bought a new car and didn't have money to pay for it. At least, the credit card will not accumulate too much interest before i pay it off.Credit cards can be a useful tool to track how you save monthly and come in handy for purchases, if you don't have friends to borrow you, or not to embarrass yourself borrowing

i started from one natwest and initially only spend like 100 or 2oo, but paid by direct debit. Eventually, moved to 3 cards and 12,000k credit limit.... except when furnishing my house and more recently supplementing buying a car and i didn't want to touch mortgage savings. Eventually this paid off, got my mortgage, they also looked at my contract phone and electoral roll registration to assess credit rating.

Today, Now 14,000k, but owing about 5k. Out of which 3,3k is interest free till December . after 2yrs, my credit profile increased to 900+ on experian. i never used upto 25% credit limit before now
LagosismyHome:
People always say credit card improves your credit score but is it really true in Uk?.... America yes but don't know if its applicable in uk and i tell you why

I got a credit card maybe 10 years ago. Just one. I never used it one day and manage my life around my debit card meaning i am as good as not having a credit card... i went to check my credit score online and nothing came up .

I got a mortage easily .... all that was checked was earnings .. This made me think if you had a bad credit history yet it affects but if you have no history it probably makes no difference

Madam, think outside the box..........

The address used is still your family house, husband's and wives can decide to conduct their marriages however it suits them.......

No marriage book insists, husband and wife cannot reside in a family house.

You could have conducted your TB test while visiting friends for a ceremony or during a brief husband and wife blending rendezvous session to another state.....

* Think outside the box*........ The most important issues is, the names are the same.........

Before they ask you questions, provide the answers........


I hope with this few words of mine, your thinking cap is already outside the box............... grin
The names don't even have to be the same. Its not a Nigerian application. Me thinks

She doesn't discriminate, as long as you have money and trips...She's very beautiful and i must admit, i might be tempted if i had such money to throw around. She's really beautiful and well spoken....not surprised.

It's most likely true, as i have seen her in a client's house

That will be difficult as you will have a lot of explanation to do. The only thing that may help be based on 'family life' or 'private life'.
Crime is one of the grounds for refusal but may be mitigated by the children being citizens.
what do youmean by crime?

Just wondering. I'm on a tier 2 visa and 2yrs+ in the UK. Just had a baby girl.Thank you! Thank you. I wanted to get her as dependent on my visa, but then i am hearing i don't necessarily need to get a visa. That i can wait till i get my ILR and perhaps file for her then.... The rumor goes on to imply, if she will not be travelling, i can just register her and no need for Dependent status. Can anybody verify this for me please?

Hi everyone,

I have learnt so much from this page and it's been really insightful, very funny and informative. I actually really enjoy the little of bits of sarcasm thrown in. Thanks for your contributions.

I have a question... Ok, a couple... . Does having a parking ticket (in Nigeria) affect the application for a tier 2 or tier 5 visa, and would it be a problem when applying for permanent residency in the long run? Said parking ticket has been registered and is in the police records. Would one need to declare that when filling an application form or can it be skipped? And if its skipped, can it be detected later?

I would really appreciate your advice. Thanks so much.
you mean a parking ticket in Nigeria, Nigeria or Nigeria, London?

Since doctors are leaving Nigeria to come here, I think the good doctors have finished in Nigeria already grin

Anyway, I want to bring a family member here for better medical care, which I intend to pay for. The person has done a bone operation doubtlessly in Nigeria and it’s still not fixed (I think he had Blounts). I believe he will get better medical care here, so I want him to come then I’ll pay.


Is this possible in the UK?
Better get a quote first, might be looking at spending £10k-£20k range...Not reallyworth it, there are an odd one or two good hospitals in Nigeria, if you know where to look!

Hello Everyone.

I have never been outside the shores on Naija and would want to make a trip this year.

Learnt that there are lots of bottle necks with the US Visa waka.

I would like to visit the UK, my cousins and extended family stays at Birhimgham City.

I am the sole sponsor of my trip...

What are my chances, i currently earn a little above 150, with savings in Mutual funds (1.5M).
Use a Nigerian immigration lawyer to guide your visa application process. UK no dey refund visa money. Also,get an invite letter from your relatives

Happy New Year everyone

Yesterday my recycling bin went missing so I decided to check my CCTV to see who the culprit was. To my amazement I see the bin man empty the bin and then throw the bin in the dust cart. He seems to be high on something. I’ve reported him to the council. This is the cctv clip

Next time your bin goes missing it might not be your next door neighbour.
Maybe you left some Nigerian jollof rice in the bin again
