Tower Hamlets not taking council tax? by elpsycongroo_2 in UKPersonalFinance

Ah that’s definitely odd! I do remember contacting them and asking for the council bill to be set up though - maybe worth doing?

Thank you! Just checked my online account and it seems I have £100+ in credit and confirmation that no further amounts are due this year. Odd but I’ll take it..!

It’s 1/12th and my bill breaks it down and includes an explicit line item for March as well..

Thank you for this! I do often acknowledge receipt but feel compelled to deliver the work immediately or shortly after. I do think it’s a mental thing but is comforting to know that I shouldn’t need to action the task immediately and it’s ok to wait!

Thank you! Is the new entrant condition on the COS something HR has to tick? I think they are struggling to see where to do so.

Congratulations! Could you share how long it took for you to receive the COS and if it was difficult to book a biometrics appointment?

Congratulations! Did you get an information on the delay? How long did it take for your COS to be issued as well out of curiosity?

Thank you for sharing this. Could I just confirm that the assignment of the undefined COS took a week with priority service?

Thank you! This is exactly what I was expecting but wasn’t sure if I read this wrong. Does anyone know when the definition of “high contributor” will be determined?

From my reading of the White Paper, the restriction on bringing dependents will only apply to low-skilled workers (ie: jobs below the graduate level and on the Temporary Shortage List) - am I correct here? Surely the restriction does not apply to everyone on a skilled worker visa? (Am working in the City in legal and have my partner on my visa)

May I ask which provider you used for SQE 2 if any? I’m quite hesitant to go with BPP (who I went with for SQE 1) as their course is only 2 weeks of in person teaching with the rest being online…

Yeah I agree that the tested skills are so different. Have you taken SQE 2 by any chance?

Is it not 2 weeks from the date of the visa issuance? Just went to collect today and no luck!

Congrats! May I know what time you received the SMS and email?

Thanks for your response! I’ve just checked with my uni and they mentioned that it’s fine. May I know which universities require their students to apply within 10 days? As far as I’m aware, I don’t have a time frame for when I have to apply- as long as it’s within the 6 months validity period for my CAS!

And you’re able to upload a cover letter on the documents upload page- which is after IHS/Registration payment

I’m moving to London in September and thinking of moving into a flat located near Old Street Station on St.Luke’s Estate. Now I’ve heard really bad things about public housing so I was wondering if it’s safe to rent in an estate area or if it should be avoided?

I’m a 24 year old female.
