Try aviva, they accept Nigerian travel history. My last quote from them was over £300 less than what was quoted by other companies and my excess is just £100 sef.
They are not on comparison sites so you have go direct to their website.

Steps on requesting a refund on IHS Surcharge

When we applied in 2017 for a 1year visa, the dependants were charged for 3years IHS and for some reasons, I always thought UKVI would do checks and balance when renewing after and then process the refund automatically from there.

One has to call or email to first lodge the complaints and get a series of questions you need to provide answers to. My advise is to email them from the get go as calling is way more expensive and still doesn't solve your issue.

I spent over £20 listening to the list of questions I need to be able to answer over the phone, so subsequently I sent them an email (£5.49) which covered any further correspondent from thereon. Below is a list of questions that is usually requested so hope this would help others jumpstart the processes faster.

It took a little over 3 weeks once the email was sent and money was paid back into the originating card used. I was quite surprised it came out that fast based on bad reviews online.

My advise is if you are just applying for UK visa please use your own personal card or someone close to you incase you would be seeking for any sort of refund. Thank God I didnt use the agent I almost went with then because of bad naira

QUESTIONS REQUIRED BY UKVI:
Applicants Name
GWF NUMBER
DATE OF BIRTH
PASSPORT NUMBER:
NATIONALITY
VISA APPLICATION CENTRE
APPOINTMENT DATE
TYPE OF VISA :TIER 2 GENERAL
PORTAL USED :
DATE OF PAYMENT
DATE ON DECISION LETTER
AMOUNT:
VISA FEE PAYMENT REFERENCE NUMBER
IHS REFERENCE NUMBER
EMAIL ADDRESS USED ON APPLICATION:
REFUND TYPE :HEALTH SURCHARGE REFUND FOR DEPENDENTS
REASON FOR REFUND:
REASON FOR ESCALATION

Happy Valentine to this wonderful family..

Please I have an issue that's bothering me and I'll need an advice whether to go ahead or not.
My husband is in UK on a tier 4 visa, we have three kids. He wants me to come over asap to support him since I'll be working full time as his is limited.

The issue now is we don't have the finances to apply for me and my three kids together..
Can I apply alone and come back to pick my kids after we've been able to save up hopefully in three months?
Are there implications to this of not taking my kids @ the moment?
What possible best reasons do I have to give for not taking my kids along? (my mum lives us so they're used to her and mother in law is also ready to join her)
Any case like mine ever? Just wondering

P.S my kids are 4years and 2years old twins
@Justwise @fatima04 and everyone who can help
Thank you all

Since Dec 2016 I've been waiting for a refund .. Emailed, called, complained dem no gree. Don tire for them but obviously not letting go

subcbouy:
My broda-man & sisda-woman, of a truth, what worked for him might not work for another. It can also turn other way. It's just that work is limited for who can grab it.

When did your husband traveled to the UK? Last Sept?

Hi everyone,

I have learnt so much from this page and it's been really insightful, very funny and informative. I actually really enjoy the little of bits of sarcasm thrown in. Thanks for your contributions.

I have a question... Ok, a couple... . Does having a parking ticket (in Nigeria) affect the application for a tier 2 or tier 5 visa, and would it be a problem when applying for permanent residency in the long run? Said parking ticket has been registered and is in the police records. Would one need to declare that when filling an application form or can it be skipped? And if its skipped, can it be detected later?

I would really appreciate your advice. Thanks so much.

you mean a parking ticket in Nigeria, Nigeria or Nigeria, London?

Sis, once you go to the refund page on gov.uk and you select the email option, payment would be made at the point of submitting your message/form not before.
