Some people don't waste their energy on irrelevant arguments.

I try to apply the rules of Circle of Influence/Concern before engaging in arguments.

I ignore loads of petty arguments unless I'm out drinking

Some companies do.
I know some who work in big investment banks in Canary Wharf & in the City of London who get extremely healthy bonuses. Think 10% of your yearly salary in one go every year + other incentives.

Hello everyone,

I relocated to the UK over a year ago and the travel processes was done by a travel company in Nigeria. We were eligible for IHS refund, so i informed the designated agent assigned to us when we did out travel arrangment in Nigeria to inform her that i will be applying for the refund, she told me to provide proof once i have applied because the Uk gov will only refund the IHS to originating account that IHS is paid from which happens to be from the MD and his wife account. The refund has been approved and credited into their various account since september this year and the company is not having a turn around saying they do not process refund and do not involve themselves with IHS refund. All i want is for my IHS refund to be paid to me by the travel company since it has been credited into their account.

Please i need help or advice to go about getting my IHS refund from this people. The company have decided to stop responding to our emails claiming our file has been closed. I have all the evidence including transaction details.

Thank you for you help.

- 2 pieces of 23kg

If you are just looking for a steady job to relax with a stable income but with little to no Job progression, the NHS is good.

However, my advise would be to just to use such jobs to wet your feet in the UK corporate world. Understand the technology and how it is applied to different sectors, take advantage of any free training available and use the NHS to pay for your professional certifications which will stand out on your CV. Then bounce after 3 years to go IT Contracting..up £500+ per day or apply for investment banking jobs with call for Data Architects, Data Analysts, Data Management, where you can earn around £100k+ base salary easily.

I posted a link to a UK Govt sponsored free skills bootcamp further. The requirements appear to be that one must have the legal right to work in the UK which I assume most in this thread do. If anyone has the brain power to take advantage of these boot camps then please do as they would be highly beneficial and put you in good standing when it comes to applying for Tech roles which pay very well when compared to others.

I don't think he can fly back with an expired passport. There must be a valid passport not just BRP.

I have a friend in Bolton, I can ask him cos he's in exactly the situation you are but he got a care / support job that tallies with his schedule

EDIT: He said to give you his number, you can send a PM

domin8:
Although I am not in Bolton, it's a similar process across councils and boroughs. You will have to use the option of moving schools during the school year since school places have already closed with the start of the new year in September.
https://www.bolton.gov.uk/admissions/moving-school-year
If you have already enrolled on the citizen portal, then I'll suggest you call / email the council. Councils can be slack at times and some pressure /follow up may be required.

Email: admissions@bolton.gov.uk
Telephone:01204 333333

Hope this helps!

thanks so much for the advice and info. God bless . will call the number tomorrow because i have actually mailed the Email addy no response so far.

Hi, this is funded by the department of education, does it mean public funds. I am very interested but I am not to access public funds.

hustla:


Thanks for your reply.
Why not start with a credit builder on Monese first and then get a sim or phone contract with providers like O2

Lexus may have other cc's you can apply for

mex551:
. I feel that those your direct debits don’t count. They want to see things like house rent, and utility bills. Also, evidence of salary. You might need to use those. My 10penny

Hi everyone!

Does anyone have pointers for tax payment on monies earned on the side say via freelancing or doing small work remotely/earning from US for instance. Not a lot of money. A few hundred GBP and sometimes lower than that. Just trying to understand the tax laws around that and how to report them.

Thank you!

Hi elders, please we need urgent help.

TLS made a mistake on a visa and put the wrong biometric details on a passport. They collected the passport and said 5days, they are there now and TLS is saying they can’t do anything (they are still holding the passport).

UKVI is saying there’s nothing they can do that TLS should correct their error.

What can we do?
