Hello house pls I want to confirm if companies in UK allows ones to take unpaid leave.

my friend in U S A took about four months unpaid leave from work to take care of her child and she was given and she still retained her job. so I want to confirm if one can do it here in the UK without been sacked.
Depending on your employer. A relative got 4 months unpaid leave last December to give birth. Why it is unpaid was because she was already pregnant before joining the company

Please, does anyone have knowledge of passport tracking? I applied in November 2022 and opted for the special delivery envelope option, but I am yet to receive my passport.

You will only be able to track the passport when it’s ready and handed to Royal Mail for delivery.

You will need the tracking number from the special delivery envelope. Use this link https://www.royalmail.com/track-your-item

I guess I've been lucky with my credit score. Its 572 and I'm just under 2 months in the country.

I opened 3 accounts and had a significant inflow of about £5k so I don't know if that helped.
Are these Main Street banks or digital banks ? I received quite good inflow as-well but checking with ClearScore isn’t as up to that.

Hi guys,

Please would it raise flags if I received like £9000 in my account?

I want to sell some USDT.

I use revolut, monzo and Lloyds just incase it would make any difference.

Please help.

Thanks
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 2) by sgtponzihater1(m): 11:32am On Jan 07, 2023
Anyone gone for passport renewal recently. What are the list of things you need to present at the appointment? Thanks
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 2) by bigtt76(f): 11:38am On Jan 07, 2023
Credit score is about how best you utilise credits and repay back promptly not necessarily a measure of your cash inflows.

1. Do you pay your bills via direct debit promptly?
2. Do you have a credit card facility? How much do you spend from the limit?
3. Do you apply and get rejected for credit facilities very often?
4. Do you have multiple accounts and have you closed any recently?
5. Are you on the electoral roll?
6. Do you move homes very often?

Some questions you need to answer to get the reason why your score is low.

Note also that there are about 4 credit reporting agencies in UK and their scores are not at the same level.

Please don't ever feel bad in anyway, it's what you have done after or build on that third class that matters. I had a third class too but after developing myself over the years, I have ended up in one of the big 4 here in the uk. You're good where you are now, just keep developing yourself.
Chairman, based on your experience, what finance roles make the most money here in the UK?

You got to be careful when it comes to selling USDT to GBP using any of the banks listed especially if P2P. You can't be sure of the source of funds used in paying you and if any issue the funds are tracked to your account, shei you know say na only you de visible not the seller cheesy

Teasing though but be very careful. Do it piecemeal and use Revolut for the transactions, move the funds gradually to your Llyods account. Monzo head nor de ground so avoid to avoid matters that touches cheesy

If you are a student, you can attribute it as your school feels being repartriated but if you are worker ....I guess HMRC fit choook eye inside oo cheesy

Does anyone know where I can get an internship placement for my kid brother in Doncaster? He's a computer scientist looking for a 6months internship. I've already checked indeed, glasdoor, linkedIn and totaljobs.

Thank you as you provide me with a link or something cheesy
Paid internship or otherwise?

it depends on when he wants to start. I think there are lots of internship opportunities in the summer

He can sign up for 10,000 Black interns (Paid) or Cyblack (Unpaid) when the new cohort is out

He can also check GRCAfriq (Unpaid )on Twitter for a new cohort if he is interested in Governance, Risk and Compliance in IT

1. yes , I have my internet bill on DD
2 . My score is low. I once try to get Amex but got rejected . So I’m giving it room ( months ) to try improve on credit before going on another trial.
3. Answered
4. No. Even though I was almost trying Bank scalping couple of months back due to juicy offers just moving banks . But I didn’t.
5. Yes , I registered on ER recently.
6. I’ve only been here for less than 3 months. That might have well add to it. And literally just paying rents approximately 2 months ago after staying in the hotel for a month .


I believe ClearScore uses Experian . That’s the only credit agent I’m currently reporting to using creditladder free plan.
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 2) by bigtt76(f): 7:17pm On Jan 07, 2023
Nice one. Did you registered successfully for ER or you were rejected? I got my AMEX within weeks of entering the UK.

You might be right on the Clearscore using Experian. Most of them interconnect but Experian takes longer to update your scores compared to TransUnion (I use them through Totally Money - free).

Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 2) by LaXxOnebody(m):
Okay

Monzo bounced me.

1. So I opened a Lloyds Classic, Revolut & Monese (both basic accounts).

2. No credit card yet. I'm going to be shopping for one soon.

3. I paid 6 months of rent at once via a transfer from my Lloyd's. I just paid British Gas via Direct Debit for Electricity & Gas on the 26th of December. Phone & Internet will come on live this January.

Water bill.is on my wife's account. I also just registered and got confirmation of being on the electoral register.

bigtt76:
Impressive. For the benefit of others, can you share the following details

1. Type of accounts you opened
2. Type of credit card (if any)?
3. How do you pay your bills?
