Good morning all Please a new couple in UK (myself and wife) need a couple room that has a private bathroom to stay at least pending when we can move to a bigger place. Within croydon-london is preferable but it can also be outside london though not too far cos I work around Croydon. Thanks |

Good day elders, asking for my sister(a student ) who's working for a domiciliary care company. This is her 2nd month with them, the company have refused to give our a contract/ employment letter. Even the copy of contract she signed wasn't given to her. What can she do? |
| Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by Taal17: 5:46pm On Mar 02 |
toolluu: Staying 6 months doesn't violate any rules, however she will be scrutinized if she shows up at border with 6month ticket or any length longer than what you put in the application Lastly her next visa application her length of stay on previous visit will come under scrutiny unless there's like a long interval between both visits 1 Like |

donald197: Your sister is a student. That means she is a tier-4 student visa holder? Your sister can only legally work a maximum of 20 hours per week (during term time) is that correct? This domiciliary care company she works for, did they offer your sister a ‘full time’ (20 hours per week) employment? Or does your sister only just pick up shifts (where available), up to 20 hours per week? Maybe you need to discuss with your sister about the kind of ‘employment’ this domiciliary care company has given her. In all, I implore your sister to thread carefully. 2 Likes |

Hello House! I need assistance with my car insurance. I have received various quotes, which are pretty high and confusing. I currently hold both a UK Provisional Driving License and a Nigerian License, but I am uncertain which option is the best and most appropriate for me. I have noticed that the quotes I receive using my Provisional License are less than £2,000 per year, while those using my foreign license are over £3,000. I also hoped to get recommendations for insurance companies offering reasonable quotes. I appreciate your help! |

celi4ever2k5: Which of the licenses will you be using to drive? You can drive with your Nigerian Licence for up to 12 months - effective from the 1st day you entered the UK. You can only drive with a provisional licence if you are accompanied by a driver who posseses a full UK driving license, and has possessed that for at least 3 years. The bolded makes absolute sense. With a provisoonal licence, the risk of accident is lesser, because you are expected to driving accompanied by an experienced driver (Never alone). With your foreign licence, you can drive (for up to 1 year) un-accompanied. The risk of accident is much greater - hence the higher insurance premium. 2 Likes |

Good day, house Please I need clarity on my credit journey. In a quest to ramp up my credit history to position for early mortgage in the UK… - I have tried to upgrade my contract only sim with Vodafone to phone + sim but got declined. - I have tried to open (activate) my Experian account, also got declined because my details can’t be verified. - My credit score with transunion seems to be crawling at 562 after 5 months of being in the UK. - I didn’t qualify for CapitalOne Card. - ClearScore (Equifax) didn’t also give me much product option It’s looking to me like building my credit history will take minimum of 2 years to even begin the journey. Yet I keep seeing people here having fantastic credit score after 5 months of being in the Uk or getting a mortgage after 2 years. My question: What practical steps can I take to ramp up my credit history and position for early mortgage with my short UK residence history? Thanks you 🙏 1 Like |

I remember seeing a post by Lexusgs430 warning about scams on the marketplace when buying a used car. I had an experience where a private seller listed a vehicle for sale on Autotrader, claiming no damage (non-Cat S/C/D/N) or stolen history. However, the CARVERTICAL report showed that the car had an active lease. When I contacted the finance company, SANTANDER CONSUMER FINANCE, they advised me against buying the vehicle. I want to warn new migrants to be cautious of such scams. I had to lower my preferences and buy from Arnold Clark since I needed a car urgently for work. 4 Likes 2 Shares |
