hustla: If by withdraw you mean settling your PayPal transactions with your credit card by adding your credit card to your PayPal account, then no. |

Estroller: I mean fuding your paypal account with your cc and thenusing your debit card to withdraw from atm Was told there is a way to do it but i was just thinking about its impact on credit score |

Pearlyfaze: Don't pay nothing ... how can an employer enforce you to pay when you left . I would like to see how this works in reality I think people pay because they think they must pay but if you don't pay I think nothing happens |

[Re: UK Technology and UK Technology career thread] I was stylishly pointing out that we don't have one! On NL, the closest is Technology Market (which is flooded with all manner of Kara Kata (buy & sell). In-btw, I was weary of starting Convo on the UK living thread for fear of #derailing. As regarding rate, basic, benefits and 'takehome', you are spot on. Amount of pension contribution plays a pay: hint govt, NHS, universities... Solumtoya: bigtt76: semmyk: 2 Likes 1 Share |

If the transaction from the CC to Paypal is not recorded as credit, then there's danger ahead. It would be treated as cash, which starts to accrue interest Ewu nbẹ loko longẹ, Longẹ fún rara rẹ, ewu ni. Lexusgs430, help us interpret. hustla: 2 Likes |

No specific I'm afraid. For instance 2 years ago, virgin money offered up to 30 months zero interest. But now it's 12 months. Your best bet is Comparing deals online. Credit score apps if you are registered do show deals on offer as well HollyMadison: 2 Likes |

Estroller: Well, the issue of credit cards came up today and it's shocking to see what people (students) are doing with CCs Paying minimum balance, transferring and withdrawing cash, saying even if their score is low, they'll build it when they want to buy a house etc To each his own, I guess 3 Likes |

Estroller: But for the PayPal bit, I think they make it seems like it's an outgoing payment to someone and the person sends it back Probably not going to be an issue that way |

HollyMadison: Yes, I often used either the money transfer credit cards or the balance transfer credit cards to fund big purchases. Go for those that have upto 18 months or more interest free periods. Do not spend on the card once you transfer the balance to it or transfer money from it. https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/credit-cards/balance-transfer-credit-cards/ I prefer the money transfer cards cos it pays cash into my account and I can re-distribute it as I please. I still buy the tickets with a credit card to give S75 protection. 13 Likes 6 Shares |

bigtt76: I think the trick is to take the GBP out, convert to naira and then use naija bank rate to pay back if possible Problem is when the bank rate doesn't come and you owe cash + interest |

Peerielass: My supplier; British gas does not have off peak during the day, instead they have day rate for one hour during the night. Switching to single rate is just a matter of giving them instructions. The boiler has 2 switches, one for day and one for night but the storage heater has only one switch such that if it's on during day, day billing is used and when on at night, night billing is used that is why when the room is warm during the day, I off the switch but need to wake up to on it at night. If I forget to wake up to on it, then I have to put it on in the morning which is day else I'll be cold. Truth is I hardly do anything with electricity at night. |

hustla:It won't work. Amex or any credit card you use may likely reverse the transfer. I've tried something like that. |

Akorkor: To preserve your money the way it is: cash To grow your money with the possibility of losing it: stock and shares. Stock and shares is not for the faint hearted, you won't understand this until it happens. I opened stock and shares and under 2 months, almost £500 was gone, I withdrew the remaining. For stock and shares, it is advisable that you should leave the investment for a minimum of 5 years. The expectation is that even if it goes down, it should recover and make gains in that time. 3 Likes |

hustla: Spending/taking more than 30% of your credit limit impacts credit score negatively. People still argue this but my colleague went from excellent to poor because he used about 80% of his credit limit and paid back in full after statement generation. 1 Like |

LagosismyHome: People pay because after careful considerations, they agreed and signed that they'll pay in such scenario, it's not uncommon so let's not debate the consequences. Experience may not be the best teacher in this case. |
