erico2k2:

wonlasewonimi:


Do you know that once you get to a threshold, even under PAYE, you have to submit self assessments? Ericko, you know I like yanking your chains ever since the day of challenger banks.. Go and take a chill pill.

wonlasewonimi:

Passed my theory test today on the first attempt. Practised with this Theory 4 in 1 app below, someone recommended it on this forum sometime back.

I used the Free Pass Guarantee option and practised the 763 theory questions and 85 hazard test videos all in 3 weeks. I highly recommend the app to anyone preparing to take their theory test.

Meanwhile, I appreciate any guide to studying for the practical driving test

DeeOneBangin:


There is an app called 4 in 1 Theory test. You can find it in your App store, it costs £5. I practiced with it for about 3 weeks and I passed the test at one sitting.

specialenvoy:
Please how were you able to see this?

Raalsalghul:


We've had examples like this previously on this thread where someone converted from a student visa to Tier 2 directly. She should carry out her findings, I think it's possible.

CheesyTee:
My people, please help chook mouth for this matter.

The current place we live in is not suitable for kids. Although the landlord came to fix some of the things we complained about, he only comes when it's almost time for the next rent.

Why not move out you may ask. Especially when we didn't sign a long contract. It's really tough getting a house to rent on the island as most house owners either do short-let (Airbnb mostly) or put the property up for sale.

We have been applying for houses advertised online and have no luck securing one.

We recently found out the reason through this potential landlord the reference provided by the previous house agent. The agency said we left the property dirty and they had to professionally clean it. Even though we cleaned the property ourselves and sent images as proof but they still charged us £200 for cleaning and repainting.

I am so down and don't know what to do cos this place is quite expensive and not suitable at all.

DeeOneBangin:


Glad you passed, that app na like expo

For practical you can watch DGN driving school and Ashley neal on YouTube. I have taken 6 driving lessons, I have four left. I have booked for the practical test (manual) already sef, God help me on that day oooo cos their driving for here different from naija ooo. I bought a car in my 4th month here, so I’m using that to practice the style of driving here as well.


Mirrors signal maneuver

Planning/meeting traffic/appropriate speed

The observation and planing is key to passing first time. Remember mirrors before signal.

Good luck

you can build credit without credit cards.You are better off taking a loan than a credit card

erico2k2:

you can file a complain, was your deposit held with a deposit scheme?

ProfJYK:


One also is more likely to be approved for a low limit beginers credit card with poor credit than a loan.

Also, there are other reasons for taking a credit card apart from Credit Score.

Like it's also been repeatedly advised,
watch your spending,
only spend what you can pay back in full.
Watch your statement closing dates keenly.
Start with free cards without monthly or annual fees.

Follow these above, you will be fine.

CheesyTee:

Yes, it was and they deducted the £200 charge from the deposit and have the balance sent to us.

erico2k2:

Did you guys not challenge and send pictures to them? wow

I'm not even worried about the charges.

I'm more concerned about the reference they provided for the prospective landlord. I forwarded the emails we exchanged with the old agency to the landlord and she mentioned the apartment was clean enough but would rather speak directly with the old landlord.

specialenvoy:

Go Post office with your debit card, they will take the cash from you and deposit directly into your acct. Check revolut’s maximum daily deposit

Solumtoya:


You can't. You can open Monzo and deposit £1,000. Better still, give it to someone you trust with a traditional Bank account to deposit and transfer to you.
