    It's "must have".

    People are suspicious as it's rare for someone semi–literate to do so well so young, and then to have some kind of brain-fart while trying to deposit it.

    I assume, with your problems with English, that you perhaps left school at fourteen? That, at least, gives you plenty of time working to have built up your assets.

    I make a few errors in my spelling/grammer as I didn't check it over and all of a sudden I'm "semi-literate"

    I like it how you assume I use English as my first language, I could be foreign and thus meaning I wouldn't of necessarily learnt English at school and further more there are plenty of "14 year olds" who really struggle at both English language and literature, doesn't mean they leave school early due to it.

    Someone should have told Richard Branson and Steve Jobs that they needed an English education to be successful!

    There's a fundamental difference between using something available to you fairly (I make use of salary sacrifice to maximise my pension contributions for example) and misusing a scheme to line your pockets (using right to buy to start a property portfolio).


    Note the key words home, home owners. You have no intention of making the property your long term home, your only intention is to line your pockets.


    I will be the home owner as it will be a home and I will own it!

    I have no intention of having a property portfolio by the way and furthermore my plan was to always to buy it even before I had the financial means as I don't pay into a pension and it was going to provide me with a steady income when I retire!

    The fact that it's in cash just gets alarm bells ringing. Once assumes it's never been declared to the HMRC.

    I don't know to be honest, never been asked that before or even thought of it to be honest. I should imagine my bank updates HMRC as its all in there.

    Besides as far as I know HMRC have no right to collect the tax on it anyway, it's all processed through a foreign country and then gets transferred to my bank account in the UK having already been taxed by the foreign government.

    I don't get the impression that it's suddenly, no.

    And edited to add, your mistakes are indicative of a UK education wasted, not of a person whose first language is other than English.

    Using street slang in written English, and writing it phonetically doesn't tally with your implications.

    LOL, your defense is almost tragic, in that you don't even appear to see your mistakes.

    The source of the funds is the most likely reason you are refused new accounts.

    My wife, many friends, and most of my colleagues are non-natives, and never, ever would one of them us "of" instead of "have".

    They of course sometimes get a little tangled over our lack of regular verbs, but that's very different from our OP's appalling abuse of our language.

    I miss the better quality trolls, who at least had the ability to string people along a bit longer.
