In her case, it was pure greed...... Because they offer you credit, does not necessarily mean you should take it all........

Did she have to buy a Β£12,000 vehicle (that she clearly could not afford)....... What happened to buying a vehicle of Β£2000.........

I get offered loans on the average of twice a week (I simply delete the emails).... Also car finance deals, I simply look the other way........ 😜

Financial discipline is key and very important, in all you do........ πŸ€£πŸ™„

You must be on expired kolos, to take a 118 118 loan (49.90 APR)........ 😁😜

The holy grail of credit usage.

If we all want to be greedy, we could all have much bigger houses, an urus and ferrari on the drive, go on exotic holidays 6 times a year and do our grocery shopping at Harrods......... 😜🀣

don't mind her, I just de laugh when reading it cos I'm subscribed to Clearscore app and despite all their hoodwinking me with available credit cards as do others....I know say levels never reach for me to obtain them cos I'm financially disciplined. Anything I cannot afford to pay cash for, I don't use my CC. I pay with my CC to build my credit history and not to splurge on delayed money pleasures it offers ....may be not now.

First have you registered to be on the electoral roll? Very important in building your credit history. Do you have a contract phone that you post pay? You start having credit score recorded for you immediately you start making payments on your bills. Signing up on Totally Money, Experian and other credit reporting platforms might help too.

Good thing you can report your rents as well... Will share the link below for you to sign up for free after doing your due diligence on same.


Use the following to report your rent payment to report the rent payment to credit agencies.
2. Credit Ladder sign up using my referral https://www.creditladder.co.uk/join/4kN2nMj0DmjpABDL),

3. Loqbox (sign up using my link https://www.loqbox.com/en_gb/loqbox-invite?referral_code=SZJ9DXFXHX&referral_channel=link)




Thanks so much.

Further clarification, by non-interest I'm referring to a finance option that does not require earning or giving interest, as my religious inclination does not encourage it

I think any EU airline that transits through Europe would require a transit visa.

It's better than Naija. Since you're still single, you can face your US journey squarely without distractions. Once you get to the UK, pass your OSCE. Then start your US process. NCLEX is written in London so you don't have any visa issues.

They are allowed to travel to Canada, USA etc without a transit visa as long as they have a valid visa/resident permit for the destination country. UK on the other hand is an entirely different story.
