Where exactly do I make those endorsements?
I should be shaking my head
Read his articles on mortgages and then you might understand - once you have then come back and have a chat

Erm... this site is not moderated. I thought you would be aware of that with all the posts you boast.
But yes, if you wish to alert the abuse team to remove your post that appears to tout for business, please feel free. (or you could just remove the offending post youself :rolleyes:)MSE_Martin wrote: »...Touting for business is strictly forbidden....
Anyway, back to the matter in hand. I asked you a question back in post #10.
As a self proclaimed mortgage adviser, why don't you divulge some information that would actually help those newly self employed seeking a mortgage, such information that you suggest is available from a mortgage adviser?"Now to trolling as a concept. .... Personally, I've always found it a little sad that people choose to spend such a large proportion of their lives in this way but they do, and we have to deal with it." - MSE Forum Manager 6th July 20100 -
My silence must be torture for you
as you keep having to post
Now run along and read Martin's article on mortgages you may be shocked who he says to contact!
Now Martin must be touting for business as well I am a Mortgage AdviserYou should note that this site doesn't check my status as a Mortgage Adviser, so you need to take my word for it.

Having read this thread I am at a loss to see where anyone has touted for business. I do remember a fair while ago financial advisors agreeing to have a signature such as the one on herbiesjp's posts in order to make their position clear. Premier you seem to have got the wrong end of the stick and won't let go."I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand." — Confucius0

How rude & patronising. :mad:
So you don't wish to provide any help on this topic, free of charge, for fellow MSE members?
Mind you, with an attitude like yours, it's no wonder you spend you day touting for business on this site

Have a look at post#10. I've quoted the touting there.
The rude and partonising response by the offender says it all really."Now to trolling as a concept. ....

Seems like good advice to me. Same advice that Martin gives over and over again. The OP's situation seems to warrant taking this advice and this is not touting for business. There is no attempt to get the OP to contact a specific advisor just to do the sensible thing and seek professional advice. Personally I am pretty financially savy and usually seek out my own solutions but if the situation warranted it then I would look for whole of market financial advice which may help me realise options my research may not have led me to. Seriously, go and read Martin's article as suggested. Your definition of touting for business would likely rule out half the helpful posts on this site on a multitude of subjects.
Edit: Not the OP obviously but the person asking for advice re Director status (Who started another thread and received helpful posts on his issue)"I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand." — Confucius0 -

If you think it is touting - then by all means report it to the abuse team
