    PS: I am NOT a bailiff...never have been and never would be !!

    We do instead have the website called xxxx xxxxx xxxxx.

    I see you are back at your old tricks - using MSE to post your "concealed" link/ad for your website in every post you now make. (And even managed it three times in the above post!)

    What a waste of a post when its we who are suggesting the OP contact herbie. Do you know of anyone better able to help? If so please let us all in on the secret.

    There are many professionals who assist on MSE without taking the opportunity to advertise their websites. The site doesn't allow advertising, Herbie21 knows this and has had her rule breaking drawn to her attention, yet has now taken to a new cynical tactic to advertise the website in every post she makes!

    Granted she maybe should have not mentioned bailiffadviceonline but as we had already done so the point is moot. I have yet to find anyone else on mse/pepipoo who have their experience so will advise victims to contact them when appropriate.

    As opposed to your apparent tactic here, to harass someone whose website helps a hell of a lot of posters into not posting in the forum?

    I for one am very glad that bailiffadviceonline.co.uk is around for those who need bailiff advice while online. After all, while I know the subject a bit myself and can give bailiff advice, online, I'm not as good at it as Herbie because my knowledge is a bit out of date and a lot out of practice.

    I think there's a very big difference between Herbie having a website which works as a resource and linking people to helpful material on that resource and someone pushing their ebay affiliate store, or whatever.

    Your opinion of course.

    But she is advertising a website charging £10 for answering a question by email, uses premium rate phonelines, charges for downloads. Why is that a reason to let her use this forum and break the no advertising rules?
