No direct debit set up for credit card - slip!
I recently got a Tesco CC to save money with the free credit offer. It's cost me £12 (as well as all the set up hassle, and I might not even need the credit)!!! A default sum notice issued as I assumed they'd take the minimum payment from me automatically. (I just happen to have made a couple of payments by direct transfer…

Lost DT Thread
Anybody know what happened to JBH's "Helping people back into work" thread? Although a couple of people had tried to derail it there was nothing abusive about it and I'm sure many people were finding it helpful. Even if someone had complained (and I can see no grounds for a complaint), why would MSE respond in this way?
CAB replies not in my posts
When I search my posts any replies to the CAB board do not show. Site fault or intentional?

Forum Downtime
Hi everyone, On the evening of Thursday 28th June, we will be taking down the Forum for some time to do some database maintenance. The work will commence at 22:30. The forum will probably be down for one and a half hours but it could potentially be a bit longer. We'll get it back up as soon as we can. Apologies for the…
Fraudsters on MSE!
Just saw a thread in DFW forum, where a newbie was trying to sell CC and identity details. Thread is gone for good, of course (well done MSE moderators for quick action). I was wondering, what is MSE's policy towards these fraudsters? Shouldn't they be kicked so hard on their asses that their generations born with a shoe…
Can't update avatar
I'm having problems updating my avatar (using pictures stored on my PC). I get the message 'Upload of file failed'. I've never had problems before. Is this just me?
2 posts missing
2 of my posts have gone missing from this thread https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/4021125 Can i have a reason please.
Dt
Why are so many random threads being moved to DT, "A touch high brow, but not too much. Want to chat about the issues? Whatever they are this is the place" is what it says so why are thing like "prawns" being put in there, surely that should be in the food section.

Can We have a Credit File Forum
MSE Update: We've launched a new Credit File & Ratings Board Thanks for the suggestion erimus1, back to your original post..... This site is brilliant but all the Credit Reference Agency threads are all ver the place - how do we request a new forum heading?
Where have all the threads gone?
Several benefits related threads have been moved to the CAB board. Most had already received an accurate answer. Any idea why they were moved? ;)
changed search box?
can this be moved towards the middle of page? It seems to get caught up with the float up tags on FB/ twitter logos.. and also i cannot pre-type forum option anymore? have to click the drop down menu, THEN select.. some of us are busy people! ;-) (otherwise, carry on!)
Viewing search results.
Is there any way for me to change the way I see search results? I'd like to see just each thread, rather than the mass of individual posts from each thread.
Can I change my username?
Hi, I was wondering whether it's at all possible to change my username without having to re-register? The reason I would like to change it is because razorbladekisses is associated with self-harm and I am trying my best to move on from that now. Thanks.
