    It may be possible to change it if you have good enough reason, at MSE discretion.

    ACCOUNT HELP : If you want to ask about changing your username, have login problems, have password problems or a technical issue please email [EMAIL="webmaster@moneysavingexpert.com"]webmaster@moneysavingexpert.com[/EMAIL]

    Edit - I don't think you can close the account in that sense, just stop posting and register with a new user name if you are not able to change the existing one.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.
