    Martin Lewis is definitely not FSA registered.
    I saw Martin Lewis mentioned several times on the FSA register.
    There is no monopoly on being called Martin Lewis in this country so it probably is a different Martin Lewis.

  • I thinks it is great that he is donating to the CAB, doesn't matter how much it is. I work at Ynys Mon CAB and if it wasn't for being funded we would never be able to continue to help people.

    It is great that he is championing for financial education in schools also. A lot of people get into bad situations due the lack of financial literacy.

    At the end of the day proves. When the carrot gets dangled the temptation is just to great to cash in. Money drives everybody these days.

    I never have been a huge fan of Martin, i think a man in his position needs to be careful about what he says

    I don't, I think a man in his position now could stick two fingers up at you all and tell you where to go as he heads for the sunshine with all that dosh.

    (I'm sure he won't) :money:

    He did it, we didn't, good bl**dy luck to him.

    His business is. It's been quoted on Cherry a few times. Try a search on there. He isn't an RI, nor does he need to be.
