I will perhaps ask all the financial organizations to update their record as i some time find it dificult to get any sort of credit even though i have full time permanent good job so i guess this could be the reason why i find it difficult.
Recently i read a topic in which people gave their opinion about which organization you need to advise after becoming BC. What i gathered from that thread was that we only need to register for electoral after becoming BC and don't need to advise any other organization. As in my case i am already reg...
