You dont have any moral right to complain. U engaged in something corrupt and still calling the system names. Come to think of it most times those people who collect miney for closer date are just hustlers. They just sit there and keep refreshing and do all sorts of tricks to get closer date. 50k for iom cert is for what exactly?

I am not in Lagos to go and book physical y. Even the ones that went there some were unsuccessful. I have been emailing them for weeks now. Am I supposed to chill till whenever they finally have my time? That money was not easy for me to part with. Don't sit there and form like I'm one rich man that just wanted to game the system

Makes sense. I've been reporting my house rent payment to Credditladder since February, they are suppose to report to Transunion, but my Transunion credit score hasn't moved since February!

Can I report previous ones? Or it's the day I sign up that it starts to read

And does a rent payment delay of 3 - 4 days impact negatively

You can retain your number with a new provider.

Read up about Number Porting (PAC).

Your plan on the old network won't work on the new. But your standing orders on the number will still apply.

hustla:


Yes the sim only contract will help

I just would like to retain my old number hence the reason for asking about the plan

I might just wait until the plan expires before migrating

Many thanks

How does name adding works for bills like Water, Gas, Council Tax?

Estroller:


I'll take the O2 plan over the other 2 options. Also try to have your name added to one or all of your bills if you haven't already, plus use your overdraft facility if you have one and you'll be fine.

Good morning,
Can someone please clarify if a UK resident non-EU spouse of an EU citizen must apply for visa to visit Spain.
Prior to brexit, I travelled with my residence card. Can I exercise right of movement to enter Spain (with documents like a marriage certificate in addition to my passport) or apply for the visa?

It's people like you that are spoiling the country with what they think is a valid reason. In a place like UK where bribe is uncommon, you will travel down, stay in a hotel/airbnb to get what you want done. Since you paid someone to do it for you no let the money pain you.

In case you don't know, people that give bribes are worse than people that collects the bribes.

Why did you pay to collect TB test cert na. Something that you should wait and collect that same day or the next. Be like bribery dey your blood.

I like how easy it is for you to judge from the comfort of your home. I didn't pay to collect TB cert. I paid to get a date, after mailing them for weeks. Did you see where I said that even people that went to their office in Ikeja couldn't get appointment? I should go and book hotel indefinitely till I can get date? Queue in the harsh weather for hours while not being sure of a positive result? Okay.

Please note that if my payment is not processed and paid on so so day, I will have no choice but to go through Small Claims Court.'

Dem con tell court say I no show up for my shift… well thank God for screenshots o. The small claims court offered mediation services. The mediator tried to contact them but they were unresponsive. So matter don Dey court. As them see say matter don Dey go court level, them start to Dey call make I withdraw the case say dem go pay me within the hour… I tell dem say my money for hand back for ground.

I paid 70k today for a close Ikeja biometrics date. Plus the 50k I paid earlier for IOM TB cert. This country has fully gone to shite. The last time alongetayo and I complained about this our comments were removed. Why? You people don't want the world to know what you're doing?
You went to pay and you're complaining about the country.
You may want to look at the mirror again.

The process is clear enough. Just do your booking online but nope, we must make a mess of it and then complain thereafter.

Hello, guys, i have been a silent follower of this thread.

i applied for jobs for the healthcare Visa and got two offers. company A has started processing my COS for about 4 weeks now. they mailed me some days ago that they want to reapply again to see if it will come faster(about a week ago). company B just got their license after several months and mailed me that they want to start processing my COS. will it be okay to give my details to Company B to go ahead with the COS processing since company A has already started but its taking time. will there be any issue with the move?

please its urgent as Company B is waiting for me to send my documents

Turkish airline isn't bad and they only have a stop

Please can I ask if a transit visa is required for Turkish airline? Also, do you have to claim your checked-in luggage at Instabul during stop-over or are they transported directly to UK?
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 2) by senny(f): 3:33pm On Jun 30, 2022
I don’t think it is a good idea to send your documents to company B. Most especially if you have appended your signature on any document with company A. But if you have not gotten your signature on any document with Company A, then go ahead with company B as well. Anyone that comes out first. Best of luck

If you don’t mind you can share these companies websites make we sef apply wink grin

When we did my friend's own a month AGO there was no need for all of this. If you don't know how low this situation has deteriorated just say so. Funnily enough I'm only posting here to bring awareness to this issue so that it can be resolved but I'm the one being attacked. A lot of people in my cohort are going to Abuja out of frustration since Lagos is now a jungle, I simply do not have the money for flight and hotels.

Send your details, passport number and email for the booking.

Send the money to a board man (someone reliable, preferably from this thread), nominate your favourite charity that would receive it when I do the booking. The charity would receive twice the amount if I don't get a booking.
