      @intentionalfavour pls I will like you to also mentor me on this same journey, I am a graduate of microbiology here in Nigeria and I really want to do pre-registration nursing in the UK but the fee is quite high and I don't know how to go about starting the journey with what I have with hope to complete the fees before the end of the 2 year duration of the course. I will be glad to hear from you. Congratulations to you @rudyatie3154

    Thanks for this video Favour. From my own experience, what increased my credit score the most was getting a credit card. I had Several direct debits on my account and was also registered on the electoral register but my credit score was still quite low and one of the reasons they gave was that it's because I didn't have any active credit cards.
    As soon as I got a credit card, even within a month of getting the card, my credit score increased

    Credit /credit score is also important in US and necessary for a lot of things like buying a house, car, school loans, etc. For the phone contract, I actually bought mine for half the price by paying for 30 months 😂 Also, worth noting that having or using credit cards should be according to your paying back capacity. Just use the cards and then pay back the money every month; that is how to build credit scores.

      Is that how it works in US? Bcos in UK, from what I've heard it cost more. If there's a cheaper way of doing it in UK, please let us know.
