Peerielass:


Clear balance or move to another 0% balance transfer card on expiration of the 24/36 months. Rinse and repeat and never get to pay interest on the old balance. You need to be financially disciplined for this to work - no new spends on the credit cards as the internet will be due immediately.

If you can't clear balance......... Simply apply for another balance transfer card ........πŸ˜‚πŸ€£

By the time you BT twice, one would understand the game and be more financially savvy ........😁😜

God bless everyone that shared info about this 0% purchase credit card πŸ™Œ. I just got approved for 0% for 21months with a generous credit limit. I will start preparing for ILR payment using the card.πŸ˜‹

To the brother who shared the initial issues, God bless you as your gist brought solution to so many people.

But even with 0%
One must pay balance transfer fees (typically 3.99% - 4.5% of balance to be transferred).

Absolutely..... But that's all you pay, till your BT period expires (hopefully person go don clear balance).......😁

Some lenders offer 0% fee, but with shorter BT periods.......😜

Who say then no get sense......πŸ˜‚

The way I rationalize paying hefty immigration sums upon renewal is that, its my way of getting another passport while paying in instalments. lol. Back in 2015 -2017 a few friend were shelling out between $60,000 to $100,000 to get a second passport, I just dey look they ask "where una dey see this money"? So in order not to scatter my mental health I tell myself that na same thing I dey do but Home office just dey allow me do instalment payments. cheesy. What you wrote up there resonates with me. I have been looking at getting zero percent interest cards that one can pay over 2 years in readiness for the next renewal. One thing I have learnt from this thread is the importance of building a great credit profile and using using credit responsibly.

Any main credit card with even 100% Apr ...... It does not matter....... Simply get another balance transfer card with 0%, and move balance....... πŸ˜‰

Clear balance within the 24/36 months....... Bob's your uncle..... πŸ˜‚

Guys, I have been trying to get an extended warranty for my 2012 Ford fiesta, but every warranty company I have tried (AA, RAC, Warranty wise) says my car has to be less than 12 years old. The mileage on the car is 57k.

Please what other option do I have?

Check that your vehicle does not have the dreaded ecoboost, aka ecoboom engine..... If it's not the ecoboom engine....... Just put about Β£45 aside every month (to cover emergencies).......πŸ€”

Vehicles don't normally go wrong, if appropriately maintained and serviced...... 😁

Warranty companies, usually shy away from older vehicles (you suppose sabi why)....., 🀣

Any one invested in Solar Energy and Batteries please?

I am thinking of going solar panels and batteries and go off the national grids. I may even sell the excess energy l will generate to the national grids and get paid by the energy companiesgrin grin

I have heard people do it, but they did not have anything good to say about it ......

Remember, you would require consent from your mortgage provider, prior to mounting those panels......😁

Evening All,

Please can someone share a cost-effective way of booking a mechanic to inspect a car about to be bought?

I want to prevent travelling until I can get an inspection report.

Thanks!

Good evening elders , my cousin needs urgent advice
She got a job offer of net Β£2400 but fixed contract of 12months full time work
Unfortunately she is housed by council (temporary accommodation)
I have done the maths with her, if she takes the job her universal credit will be Nil/zero and it will definitely affect her housing benefit.
Given the high cost of renting in London , what’s the best way forward? Is anyone working full time while undergoing housing crisis? Did they ask you to leave your temporary accommodation or start paying the rent? How did you manage? Will she still be eligible for permanent housing ? Any advice

This is very simple...... Once she takes the job offer, she is no longer classed as a government pickin......

Her benefits stops + her housing benefit stops(she would join the hustle, like we fellow hustlers on the street).......😁

She would love the 12 months of earning her own money (but she would very quickly realise that, the cost of housing, no be beans) + other related cost of living expenses.....

What happens to her after 12 months..... This is the koko....... 😊

Once she leaves that temporary accommodation, she returns to the back of the queue...... πŸ‘Œ

Does she have a child or classed as a vulnerable person......

That is just one of the many silly blogs that have been reporting that false story since yesterday. I don't know if the imbe is in trouble with the UK popo, but I do know the UK doesn't dish out 160k GBP to asylum seekers, which was an element of the silly story.

Hi Everyone, I am hoping to take my wife and 3 kids ( ages 8,5 and 3) on our first summer holiday outside the UK, but I have no idea how to get a great all-inclusive package deal with a rough budget estimate of around Β£500/600. I have heard nice things about Tenerife, Algrave, Gilbratar etc. I don't mind if it is just for 3 or 4 days or if it is grand or posh, as long as it has a beach or nice facilities for the kids to have fun and run around and have a break from the UK weather and school routine. There is so much information online and so I don't even know how to filter the right information as I know that the best value deals will be hidden and gotten mostly through referral. I am not even sure of the number of rooms to book for all of us and so all suggestions will be highly appreciated. Apologies if this is not the right thread to post this inquiry.

Download this app.....

Loveholidays.....

Holiday bookings are ATOL protected & it's all inclusive (don't forget to book your transfers, within the app)......
