    Had saved a tidy sum until October 2010 when CCE collapsed - still trying to re-coup the loss. Come to think of it, what about a poll to show how much people have lost - I heard of one poor soul who lost over £100k!!!

    I would say that it would add up to about £20M, so that figure should be subtracted from the savings total. That would give the true figure.
  • Down a whopping 5 figure sum here thanks to Martin's best buy recommendation for Crown Currency - nice move Debs, is he reading this? and if he is, does he actually give a monkeys?
  • Voted "Nothing" as that's closest to the real figure for me!!
    pity there was no Minus figure's on his survey !!!
    Think the thousands of ex CCE clients would have shown / are showing how disappointed they are with ML. Anything about him and he should have put a very large donation towards all the loss''s from the few Millions he's gained from his sale, or at least assisted the group to fight for there right's , instead of dropping them like a Hot Potato;
    I for one are NOT impressed with ML . Through his recommendation We along with thousand's of others lost Millions

    He won't say owt for the very same reason he dumped us at the beginning of this horrible saga - ostrich mentality............. hope you enjoyed your duck Martin! :money:
  • Lost a four figure sum thanks to collapse of Crown Currency Exchange - are you going to do the sums Martin and take away the losses from those who were lucky to gain?? Never mind share the love - share the money!!!!!:mad:
  • Saved..Nothing..LOST hundreds in the CCE collapse recommended by Martin . Great work!!!!
  • Can't enter an amount as there is no negative option. Lost money not saved it. All thanks to MSE recommending CCE I irretrievably lost a pile of money. Good going, Martin. How about funding some payback to CCE creditors from the sale of the website?!

    I'm not sure how MSE could have been expected to foresee the collapse of any particular company.
    Surely consumers need to accept final responsibility for their own transactions.
    I use a similar exchange bureau to get a good rate but I'm fully aware I'm at risk if they go bump. Particularly if I choose to pay by BACS.

    MSE has saved /made me between £3-5K, possibly more from Stoozing, Matched Betting, Bank sweetners and vouchers.
    Apparently I'm 10 years old on MSE. Happy birthday to me...etc

    Crown Currency Exchange - thanks for nothing Martin.
