Bros you shouldn't conclude that way, the man only asked a question to be more enlightened. No need to sound harsh ok

Thanks. Not trying to be harsh. If the gentleman is in 9ja then I understand but if he's in UK and knows the system already, then saying 5yrs old girl doesn't need her privacy as she is not even Teen then he can surely do that.

Happy new year everyone. Has anyone used paga for priority payment recently? I heard from one of the agents at Tls Abuja that paga doesn't work for priority anymore. Please how true is this?

Complement gentlemen. Pls I need your advice, my cousin's resumption date is May 2021 at Northumbria University. His fee is £7200, his friend in Uk said he can help him pay for the fees, all he needed to do is to transfer the Naira equivalent to his account. He said banks will take longer time to process if he chooses to that route. He charged him £1 for 635 Naira. The guy has helped him paid the £7000 to the school, and he has also transferred the naira equivalent to him. I was mad when he told me. Gentlemen, Can he write to the school that he wants a refund of his fee that the person that paid the school cheated him, since his resumption is May. After the refund he can now go to the bank to pay. This whole incidence happened on the 21 Dec 2020. Pls I need advice!

I don't understand you and your friend want to write to the school. That his guardian (friend) cheated him on the equivalent or what?

And you think the school will refund all the money?

Painful..... but

I doubt if anything can be done.... your friend ideally should have done his home work before making a payment especially exploring form A option which works out cheaper for school fees

First step is ask the school what the refund policy if you have a sudden emergency and need to withdraw the funds to pay later

After telling him about bank rate and all, he feels cheated and want to write to the school to refund his money. That’s why am asking for advice if he can go ahead and what’s the success rate

If e goes ahead he won't get a full refund just keep that at the back of your mind.

He needs to give the school a better reason because the school did not cheat him.

I know 800k is alot but my point is a friend that can "get" over his friend,you think he might return all the money or return in full?
My advise still remain that you let it go. I once had a neighbor who paid money(11000$) in 2015 for a car to be bought for him in the U.S and sent to naija when there was delay he asked for refund,brother refund came as kalokalo (piece meal),today 500, tomorrow 350,next tomorrow 200 all in USD o and refund took about 18 months. My own is
Just let it go cos d wahala go tire una ,my prayer and hope is that the source of payment isn't fraudulent but our gurus can advise better

Good evening everyone, my hubby want to go for his PhD in Peace studies at Lincoln university, but we gave the job to agent since Oct and no reply from the university yet not to even talk of CAS etc. With my experience on this platform, I think we can do it ourselves... So please advice me, is there any university where he can study PhD peace studies by March.
Is it not too late to start the admission now?

Please gurus help me with list of universities that we can try. May God bless you all.

I think he should just leave it, as painful as it is.

An expensive and probably crazy option would be to make another payment of GBP7000 to the school using Form A and then ask for a refund, hoping that GBP7000 will be refunded directly to him and that he can sell same at parallel market rate. Maybe, he can say that he had initiated the payment via the bank and while it was taking a long time, he asked a friend to help him make the payment. He however needs to be careful so the school doesn't see him as trying to use the school to launder money outside the country. He also needs to confirm from the school's website that excess payments are refunded to the student.

Good evening Justwise , Mimilyrics , lagosismyhome , mattfeuter , tobexin , stenon and other well meaning contributors in the house.

My little cousin is in a dangerous predicament. He's currently applying for his Bachelors in a London uni and is almost done. Himself and I filled his application together while being guided from time to time by his elder brother who is already over there living with their mum. We have already filled the application form and his elder brother has paid the IHS fee using his card. However, before we paid the application fee, I asked my cousin to review the application for the final time. It was in the course of this that he discovered that 2 severe errors were made:

i. We stated that he'd already paid fees to the school for accommodation purposes (which is false)
ii. We stated that he has no relatives in the UK (which is false as his mom and cousin currently reside legally in the UK, albeit temporarily)

My cousin in the UK advised that we start a new application and see if we're able to link the IHS reference number we were issued from the abandoned application to the new one. But alas, there was no such option when we got to that stage.

This is where the problem lies, what is our fate at this stage, do we forfeit the amount already paid and pay a fresh fee? Is there anyway the IHS money paid can be refunded? If yes, how do we go about it?
Re: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 5 by mimilyrics: 8:55pm On Jan 03, 2021
He should cancel the application and start a fresh one.
He will get refund for the visa fee, in addition to the IHS paid since he hasn't registered his biometrics. Refunds take around 28 working days. If he doesn't get it by 28 working days, he'll need to contact UKVI.

Don't bother asking for refund ge will lose all because the refund will go back to the originating account. Just be careful and learn hus lessons

Re: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 5 by mimilyrics: 9:24pm On Jan 03, 2021
He should log into his application to cancel, there should be a prompt for that. The refund is automatic for cancellations.
Yes, he should get the full amount with 28 working days but if it's not reverted within 28 days, he will need to contact UKVI chase it up.

The link states that you don't have to do anything if you paid the IHS twice as the refund will be made directly to the card used:
"If you are due a full or partial refund for these reasons, you do not have to do anything to get it. It will be automatically paid to the account or card you paid with."

His friend didn't cheat him NO,he didn't. My friend's brother paid for her at 580 with the agreement that anytime she wants to return his money they will use prevailing rate,she returned last week at 628. UK people don't joke with money,.It was ur cousin's choice , saying this about his friend is unfair. Don't bother to write to this school,cos if you do
1)u won't get the full refund
2) the money will be returned to his friend's account and he will never pay him at buying rate. He will loose more. You can't only be cheated once,let it go
Mark my words,call ur cousin sept that u need pounds he/she will do same. People abroad use black market rate to convert their hard earned foreign currencies
