Viruses: And I bet you, people would have been telling your colleague, not to buy the property then....... Because they felt the property was too expensive.......... The best time to buy a property is now, this is your NOW ............ Remember, people predicted property prices would crash, due to Brexit........ We all know what happened...... That rent been paid, is paying another's mortgage...... 2 Likes |

Good evening, I brought ticket for Manchester to York with a railcard. Unfortunately the train conductor said there no railcard for Northern part of England. I was charged £55 for single journey. The guy asked me to contract Trainline for refund for railcard cuz it won’t in the north and the card was for senior member which I wasn’t even aware of. Please anyone who has encountered same situation, I will appreciate if you can enlighten on what do how. |

XX ADVICE PLEASE XX my Nigerian passport expires in two days time. I had applied for renewal at the London office and got a december 9th appointment for Biometric. The problem is an important family emergency has required me to travel to Nigeria on the 17th of October. Will I be travel to fly and return with an expired passport? What is my fate? Any options? |

mystikal: I know of someone who traveled to 9ja with an expired pp and also took copies of the renewal receipt and acknowledgement, booking confirmation etc and this was fine, they entered and came back ok, they did not even need to 'settle' on entry to 9ja. Although they only needed their British pp to re-enter the UK so I don't know if the case will be different for visa holders etc. I hope this helps. |

tshoboy: Hmmn... thanks for your response bro. I'm going with a Skilled Worker Visa. The only person that can view houses for me in Manchester will be travelling 5 days before I travel, so there may not be much advantage there. I want to do Airbnb for 10 days while searching for houses, that's why I'm asking how realistic it is to get a house in a week. |

olafim309: Firstly wot type of Railcard did you get with the ticket when you bought it. Secondly Trainline hardly refund you the exact amount you paid. |

Good evening Everyone. Has anyone flew Qatar Airline enroute Glasgow and had a stop over in Dublin? I would appreciate feedback from anyone who have had the experience. Thank you |

WhiteWolfe: Extremely unrealistic on current trends, unfortunately. Housing in Manchester is generally difficult to get now. I would advise you made alternative housing plans for at least a month (and possibly more), and considered looking in locations in Greater Manchester outside the city such as Bolton, Bury, Oldham, etc. People are even coming in from places outside GM, such as Preston, for instance. Offering some months rent upfront is now the standard, and not the exception, so bear in mind that it may not necessarily expedite your search. 1 Like |

Hi Elders, I have a friend (na friend o. ) who has been maxing out his credit limit (I think its £500 / £600) and has been paying it back Warned him about the impact on his score but he claims it wont affect anything as long as he pays back in full every month I am curious as to how this actually impacts his score as general guidance I see online it to keep it under 30%. (I keep mine under 15% to avoid stories that touch the heart and soul) Some input will be appreciated as I plan to show this to him. |

hustla: Credit scoring is relative and this has absolutely nothing to do with how lenders determine credit worthiness. It only helps to show us, credit consumers, our overall credit health. All lenders have various internal criteria that they use to determine affordability so generally speaking, having a 25% credit utilisation is good for scoring but this matters where, I for example have a very large line of credit so my 25% is A LOT. Therefore lenders will see that I am able to cope with the credit I am utilising and will be happy to lend me up to that amount. As your friend only has a very small amount, using it all and paying it back will show lenders that he can be trusted with that 500 however he MUST never go over by 1 penny or miss a payment because that will totally ruin his credit, it is safe to always repay using direct debit and also stay a little bit below his max too. |

hustla: It does affect, 2 month ago I made a repayment that was meant to keep my account under 25%, but the repayment didnt hit my card within the given SLA. It dropped my score by 17 points |

Santa2: Why not pay yourself by card? Or I did not understand you |

Samopex05: As long as you can show relationship. However, I will advice you get your spouse on the tenancy agreement as well. We had to pay some money to get ours done but the letting agent says would have been free if we had asked before the end of the first year of occupancy |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 2) by tshoboy(m): 12:38pm On Sep 14, 2022 |
WhiteWolfe:I will advise you to plan for three weeks. You can start checking houses and booking viewings closer to when you will be around. That could also help in speeding up the process. It’s better to be prudent in this case. |
