Good morning Dear Ancestors. Merry Christmas to you all. Please someone should please help me with the TV license thing. My friend is paying £31.89 every month for the TV license and na only YouTube the kids dey watch. She wants to cancel and watch the YouTube thing without having to pay for the license since it is only YouTube. Please advise us. |

umarwy: Thank you. I have seen this Ralph's post on it. Dear friends on this thread, Re: TV Licence Fees I am writing this to you because of my firm believe that this thread is meant to promote the right thing. I am writing this because I believe that dodging TV Licence fees is illegal (at least within the ambit of the law as IG currently is). My advice: If you do not require the TV licence, it’s fine. All you need to do is: Visit the licensing website: https://www.tvlicensing.co.uk/check-if-you-need-one/topics/cancellations-and-refunds-top7 In less than 2 minutes, fill the form. They will send you an exemption. Afterwards, you don’t have to be glancing over your shoulders and frigging, cowering in fear anytime there is a knock on the door. Yours sincerely, RalphJean (who applied for, and got an exemption hence I do not watch, I do not pay and do not need to sound reminders to my children to shut the door to Law Enforcement Officers). 2 Likes 4 Shares |

There's an option for the recipient to withdraw dollars not sure about Pounds. You can check. Yes world remit and western union are other options but do your research to compare the costs. Cheers � Preshyi: |

Season’s greetings ladies and gents. Been awhile on here. Stumbled upon this on Reddit. May benefit someone out there. Time is EST so might not be that convenient with GMT. Cheers. 5 Likes

Pearlyfaze: I presume you mean £13.89, not £31.89. Tell your friend to go to the tv licensing website and check, because I think YouTube, as a streaming service, falls under the services for which a TV license is needed. |

canadaishome: Remember to check your free credit report to see if the credit agencies have a record of your electoral roll registration, and if not make sure that's updated. Baby steps, but needed. 7 Likes |

Ancestors, Una good afternoon po Please if one comes to the UK with £2000 as living expenses pending when one gets a job to support, would it be ok. Is it enough for 2months? |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 2) by icon8: 2:20pm On Dec 24, 2021 |
IvanCardozo: What does ‘living expenses’ mean and what’s included? Rent, bills, etc., or only feeding and other minor spends? Also, where in the UK? Your question is too vague, you may need to be more specific to get the help you desire. |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 2) by TheGuyFromHR: 2:20pm On Dec 24, 2021 |
Divine88: Noted, stand corrected. |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 2) by TheGuyFromHR: 2:22pm On Dec 24, 2021 |
IvanCardozo: If you're single, and even taking regional variations into account, that should be ample to cover all your living costs including [single room, shared flat] rent, transport, food, bills, etc. Woman, clubbing and intoxicants excluded. |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 2) by TheGuyFromHR: 2:25pm On Dec 24, 2021 |
mizGene: You can raise a dispute with them if you spot any info on your credit report that's not accurate. You should find that option on the website - usually as simple as sending an email indicating the inaccurate information and/or supplying them with the accurate version. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Pearlyfaze: she's probably paying quarterly, she needs to contact the office to get exemptions if she's just watching netflix and other non-live streaming services |

icon8: Just to buy normal needed stuffs, 2 months student accommodation, and transport here and there. No exorbitant/lavish spendings. Just daily needs and 2months student rent. Location: Sunderland |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 2) by icon8: 3:18pm On Dec 24, 2021 |
IvanCardozo: You should be fine with that budget in Sunderland. Rents are relatively cheaper up north compared to the south. £1k budget pcm should be more than enough, and the £2k could even last 3 months. However, sustaining yourself after the funds run out in 2 or 3 months is another story. 3 Likes |

A question I am curious about to help in my decision making. Can someone on study permit invest or buy real estate properties in the UK. I believe people already living there are best to answer this question.. |

kingvilleshines: The UK and rush rush do not go hand in hand. It might take 1 week or 3 months to get a flat. Pray for the best but calm down so you won’t be disappointed. 6 Likes |
