dustydee: I am genuinely surprised at how pretty standard procedures can suddenly be given racial connotations. Someone made an application for debt. A company feels something doesn’t add up. The company says, NO, we can’t give you this credit because it doesn’t meet our policies. Company communicates to the applicant, saying sorry. We can’t give you this. Applicant almost immediately uses their debit card to make the same purchase, from the same company. Because the smell of the fish(y) from the first instance hasn’t completely gone, company says wait a minute, just a couple of hours ago, you wanted this same thing on credit. We said no. Now the same you have suddenly come up with £800.00 to make an outright purchase.We need to investigate further. Company details their fraud unit to investigate, to prove that this person is who they say they are. Because company doesn’t want to hold funds for too long, company returns £800 to customer. This was referred to fraud unit. The fraud unit guy enters the name provided by the customer into Google search engine. The first hit is a LinkedIn page. Fraud unit guy browses the first link. And turns off their computer. Customer (who uses LinkedIn Premium) now sees that Company employee had looked them up. Customer now claims they were refused because they were black? And African? Customer now says Company had no authority to ‘Google’ them? Because of GDPR? Shuooooo 26 Likes |

Amarathripple0: Oh cool. Do you have a time lapse of events? Did JL reject AFTER their staff (allegedly) went through your LinkedIn profile? Or was it AFTER the staff went through that they rejected? Do you have clear empirical evidence of which happened first? What if the LinkedIn profile view happened AFTER the rejection? Will you still have a case that the rejection was because of the melanin in your epidermis? Let me even ask a cheeky one… Have you updated your PayPal profile to reflect that you are now in the UK, not in Nigeria? I am not saying that’s the case, but a PayPal profile (from Nigeria), making a purchase, to be delivered in the UK, and probably there is some mismatch somewhere… it is JL duty to prevent fraud. This is me being cheekily speculative. Sincerely, if I were you, I would preserve my energy for bigger fish. You haven’t been in the UK for more than 7 months (on your current sojourn). Reserve the energy (and Lawyer fees) for things like ILR application Etc… 1 Like |

Amarathripple0: I think you are over reacting. You said their email mentioned you failed security check - which is not uncommon. Lawyers fees dear die… “Perhaps because I’m black “ that is 100% speculation. Based on info available to you, there is NO WAY you can prove that, easily. Based on the chronology of events you made here, it was in this order: A. You tried PayPal, it was rejected. B. You checked your LinkedIn profile and saw that a LinkedIn staff viewed your profile (presumably after the PayPal rejection) C. You next uses your debit card. This was subsequently rejected too. Conclusion: The decision made in C was as a result of the LinkedIn profile view. How about A? Why did PayPal refuse (in the first instant?)Have you bothered to research that? My take: Spare your energy for more serious battles |

Missposh: “Just Good Schools” As Missposh, you probably want the likes of Eton? I personally would not use the word ‘just’ in front of ‘good’ schools. If you (truly) want your kids to attend the ‘outstanding’ schools, you MUST be suitably located within the catchment area. In that case it is (highly possible) that that £800pcm you wish to spend on housing is just enough for a 2-week rent in the catchment area of an outstanding school. 3 Likes |

[quote author=tushqueen post=111271785][/quote] I'm not keen on interest rates as I'm not permitted to earn interest. Moneybox ohhh Haagreaves ohhh All will give you interest. If you are truly not permitted to earn interest, and you really wish to live by that, here is a siMple solution: Go to Poundland, buy a piggybank (it costs £1). Then be saving your money in there. Keep the piggybank safely under your bed. No interest will accrue. 2 Likes |

zeb04: Congratulations. I remember you. The Embryologist yes? but you had a 25k job last year. did you turn it down? The statement in bold isnt very clear. You are female (mother). You have a child. and you said its a family of 3 . does that mean you, your husband (or civil partner) and your child? Now you said "when my family moves in with him" thats a bit confusing. You said "but i will be coming alone first" that is usually the best thing. You come alone, test the waters and settle down wella.... By the waym, how old is your child? If you are buoyant enough, and the child is school age, you could enroll them in Breakfast club (some schools start at 7:00 am - or earlier). https://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-to-rent/find.html?locationIdentifier=REGION%5E1456&maxBedrooms=1&maxPrice=1000&radius=1.0&propertyTypes=&mustHave=&dontShow=&furnishTypes=&keywords= 7 Likes |

Sports / UKRAINE: Chelsea Owner - Roman Abrahamovich Steps Aside by KOVIC19COVID20: 8:08pm On Feb 26, 2022 |
Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich has relinquished the "stewardship and care" of the club to their charitable foundation. In a statement released on the Blues' official website, Abramovich said: "During my nearly 20-year ownership of Chelsea FC, I have always viewed my role as a custodian of the Club, whose job it is ensuring that we are as successful as we can be today, as well as build for the future, while also playing a positive role in our communities. "I have always taken decisions with the Club’s best interest at heart. I remain committed to these values. That is why I am today giving trustees of Chelsea’s charitable Foundation the stewardship and care of Chelsea FC. "I believe that currently they are in the best position to look after the interests of the Club, players, staff, and fans."
