A woman's mag is looking for a story and is willing to pay £100 or more to anyone that can help. If you can help get in touch on the details below.
Have you been helped by the MSE forums?
We, a top woman's magazine, are looking for MSE users who have found the forums a particular source of support. In return we can offer a fee.
As a woman's magazine we are particularly interested in female users. You must be aged 35-50 but if you're a man in that age bracket with a female partner then we will consider you.
To be considered you must also have posted your SOA, and taken advice which changed your life for the better. You must be happy to have your picture taken and/or provide pictures and talk frankly about your debts and financial position.
The fee, paid on publication, will depend on your story. It will be a minimum of £100 if you are selected - but could be much higher.
We're particularly interested in forum users - aged 35-50 - who have posted on the forum for advice and support before telling their partners that they're in debt. Both partners must be happy to be identified and the fee for this would be higher.
To apply please send a recent photo and an outline of your story including your name, age, debts and how MSE has helped you to anna_cook @ipcmedia.com or call 0203 148 6533. The deadline is Wednesday 3rd December.

Hello
I am the Anna named in the add above and I have MSE Jenny's permission to post now.
This post is a big hint - that I still haven't found the right case history for the piece I'm working on.
I'm a long time lurker on the site. Martin's advice has saved me at least £300 a month. He encouraged me to write my SOA and stopped money from running through my fingers.
Ever since I first found MSE I've been in awe of the friendship and support you offer each other and I really want that to come across in the piece I'm working on. While I've been looking on other forums I do feel a loyalty to you.
I wanted to stress a couple of things. First £100 is the minimum, we can pay more. Also, before anything goes to press we can read it back to you and if we take pictures with a professional photographer then we can let you have copies too - once they've gone in to print.
If you've got any questions or queries please feel free to ask me here or email anna_cook@ipcmedia.com - it won't obligate you in any way.
Thanks for reading

I agree!
It would be a great article and could help a lot of people.0 -
Ashame the age bracket is so high as this site has helped me change my life around, I've gone from thousands of pounds worth of debt & being almost homeless to living a much happier debt free lifestyle, I use this site daily to save money & also use the site to enter competitions which has also helped us no end!
I hope you do find someone suitable as it really is surprising what this site can do for you so hopefully your article will give lots of people inspiration :T I'm sure someone will come along that can help you out
Laura xThanks to everyone that posts :T:money:

For the right story we could lower the age - say to 30ish?
Would that help?
Thanks
