I have a question about PTA.

I know school fees takes long to approve. Does PTA take that long as well?

Must you use the branch where you opened the account?

For someone going to Canada, can he apply for USD PTA or it must be CAD.

1. PTA takes less than 2 weeks to be treated, 2 weeks prior to travel date
2. choose any branch of your choice
3. It must either be USD/GBP/EUR if it's a cash request, but if it's a card it will only be USD

I hope these help

Not aware of any biometrics being done online. As far as I know one has to go into the commission for capture.
Biometrics can be done online if you are using the latest iPhone like 11 and above. You can take this information to the bank cool

Just to make it clear that you don’t have to deposit the 1250 at a once. You can split it how you want say 400.400.250 and move the money around in your accounts.

It’s just need to sum up minimum 1250 £ within 60 days of creating the account.

Got mine under 7 business days with message like:

“ Thanks for switching to NatWest. Great news, your £200 is in your account. For more information on how to make the most of your account why not visit our helpful page https://www.natwest.com/existing


Terms of engagement differs from each bank switch and there are chances of temporary pull back in your credit score .
Please can you help me understand this better.

Say I have just £700, can I deposit and withdraw and after 5 days, deposit same £700, would it work??

Hello House, I have been on the market for a car, and based on my budget I have seen a really nice Vaxhall Astra 2010 for 2,500 pounds. However, my cousin is against me buying it as he said it is a Cat S car and no company would agree to insure it because when we called the number on the page, the seller confirmed it and said he got it as a part exchange and there is no engineering report or repair document for the car. But he told us that the MOT and other things were all up to date. Following that, I called 2 insurance companies from comparethemarket who both said they wouldnt insure it as a Cat S.

I am asking if there are any recommendations for companies I could try. I really like the car because of its relative size. I have 3 kids and so most of the Astra type size of cars are currently over 4k, which is just totally beyond me at the moment and due to work and school runs, I am under a lot of pressure to get a car quickly.

Please, I would appreciate all the advice I can get. Thanks!!!
My first car was a cat C , although I was new to UK and there was no Nairaland for me to ask. I didn't even know what cat c was ...lol.the car show me pepper. One week after buying engine oil light came up,that how I was buying engine oil every single week (no joke). After 3 months I had to sell it to another JJC although I bought it 3k and sold it 3 months later for 800. Selling it nobody wanted to buy it hence I either had to buy engine oil every week or sell it for whatever I could

While everyone experience might not be the same, I personally won't touch a cat C because you can never tell if the mechanic repaired it properly

Categorised vehicles are not that bad (you get a considerable discount).......😂

I bought my daughter a Cat N vehicle, rather than paying £35.00 to a driving instructor........ We take her out about 3/5 days a week, for 2 hours driving around.....😊

It was written off, because of a small dent on the OSF fender....... (I did not even fix it).... We dey drive am so ....😊

The vehicle is so economical, that i drive it now most of the time ...... Put it through an MOT yesterday, it passed with no advisories........😜

I love this Jazz .......😁

Hello, please is any one living in Stafford or anywhere around, that has or can link me up with a room for a short let for 4 weeks. I have tried spare room but all the ones there are for minimum 6 months let. Airbnb is quite pricey for me.

It's fake that's why you're only seeing it on IG gossip pages and rubbish blogs (mostly from Nigeria where we have lazy 'journalists').

Also, that's not how the law works. I know - I'm not guessing.

There are many factors that make such a scheme impractical from a corporate law and tax law standpoint. If it was that easy why would everyone not just gift out their properties before a divorce?
