I have started using them for two months now but haven’t seen impact on my score.

My brother!
You need to build up your score if you have bad credit rating (These things take time) ... pay up all your debts or avoid late payments, pay your bills in time, use less credit from your credit cards, register yourself on the voters register..... within 3-6 months you’ll see gradual improvements. But if you’ve got a bad credit score it will remain on your record for 6yrs ....... Room was not built in a day

Great, I think all those things takes a while to appear. As with a lot of things in this country, slowly but surely.

E.g we moved house to a new built in Feb, post code wasn't showing so couldn't register immediately. Eventually registered in April but report shows joined Electoral Register in December.

Thanks. I actually moved to the UK less than a year ago and haven’t been able to get a credit card. I have been on the voter’s register for 8 months or about and I pay all my utilities via direct debit. However, I understand it will take a while to build the scores.

Where are u going after london?

If you are just transiting then passport is usually not stamped as you don't leave the airport or pass immigration.

If you want to come out if the airport shop around or visit and go back in then the passport will be stamped ....however you need a valid UK visa to be able to come in and out

If you don't have a transit visa......... No stamp..... Ensure you have toothbrush, bathing soap + towel in your hand luggage.......

After you freshen up, find a comfortable chair, head to any airport restaurant, feed your belly full (they don't accept naira). Hold your debit/credit card or cash...... cheesy grin

Hello everyone,

I am a prospective student due to start my PhD studies in Liverpool soon. Please, I wish to seek your advice/recommendations on opening a bank account (i.e. which bank(s) offer the best services particularly for students). Any other advice you deem necessary would equally be appreciated.

Thanks.

Most banks offer similar services and packages,

welcome to Liverpool

Before the end of today is fine. Thank you.

Is it possible to continue the transaction elsewhere? I have sent you the default email via NL, just so we don't pollute the thread.
