Could we have a place to contact MSE Martin outside of Twitter please?
MSE Martin appears to be making lots of tweets which are displayed on the RHS of the forum. Whilst some of these can be quite informative and/or seek responses, many of us here on MSE don't have, nor want, a twitter account. Could there be an opportunity to respond to these tweets on a specific area of the forum somewhere,…

Purpose of the CAB forum?
I am failing to understand the purpose of the CAB forum. Where a CAB representative does reply it seems to be one of 3 stock answers every time. * CAB aren't covering that area * Look at the guides on adviceguide.org * Visit your local CAB Very little helpful information is given and TBH the best information is still…
SKY and the recent MSE codes deal
Well, I was one of the "lucky" ones that received a code and took up the Sky offer. Sky started on 30th September and yesterday I received the invoice for my first 2 bills. However they are NOT the MSE deal prices! I kept a screen print of the deal I signed up to as I heard there was nothing from Sky confirming anything…
Spam filter: box . net / competitionbox . net
Hi Competitionbox . net (competitions organised by the Post Office) is being picked up by the spam filter because the url contains the text "box . net" - a different site which has presumably been added to the spam filter. Would it be possible to investigate whether there's a way of competitionbox . net not being blocked,…

How many more threads do we need on this board about this? :cool:
Free £10 off Train Tickets - error
Hi, I was trying to obtain a free £10 off train ticket today. I logged on atexactly 11am and 3pm. I entered my email address and the Image codes when asked.However EVERY time I enter the code and press submit, it would just reset theImage code. This repeatedly happened until the codes ran out a few minuteslater. This is…
Railway codes: not happy
I was excited by the offer of codes for cheaper train travel through RedSpottedHanky: the deal would have meant quite a lot to me. So at one minute to 11 I was on the page where the codes were to appear. No link. One minute past, and still no link. Then there was obviously high demand, and when I refreshed it took until…
Small Business and Self Employed Issues
Would it be possible to have a separate forum to discuss issues affecting small business and self employed people?
Oops.just reported a post as spam accidentally
As above. I was using one of those silly tablet things and accidentally hit the spam button while reading the thread. Is it best to contact a mod
Disappointed with MSE
Just read about the code for £10 off train tickets on Redspottedhankie. To ensure that everyone gets a chance the codes are being released at 11am and 3pm so that everyone gets a chance to get one. What chance do you have if you work a normal 9 to 5 job! probably none, this should have been better thought out. could have…

eBay buyer lost resolution but demanding I settle privately!
Hi there, I am a private seller and sold 4 identical lights on ebay and the buyer stated that 1 was missing a tiny screw, I sent another and but the wrong one so sent another. I then got a message that upon cleaning the items, they noticed another was missing, I had a spare light that I was going to keep, so I agreed to…
Unknown CCJ is it void if they have my Initial wrong?
Hi my husband didn't pay our gas bill on time and unbeknown to me we got a CCJ. He didn't tell me because even though the bill is in joint names, the paperwork was sent twice, once with Mr & his Initial and Surname and once Mrs his Initial and surname and not my initial. He therefore thought it was a duplicate rather than…
Why release the £10 off train travel during the working day?
2 release times for these codes is great, but not everybody is at home all day, nor has unlimited internet access during their working day. Missing out again as I can't participate...again. :( Please can you relook at any future offers like this so everyone really does get a fair crack of the whip? Those of us who work 9-5…
