    So you wouldn't consider it touting if someone posted an adverse credit mortgage query and your final line was:
    "You should find a broker like me who specialises in adverse credit" ?

    Was this how I wrote the line ? No it wasnt

    Or if someone was asking about investments you'd say it's OK for an IFA like dunstonh to reply - "you should consult a specialist investment IFA like me" ?

    As above did the sentence end in "like me"? No it didn't.

    Why should I be looking for touting - I don't think you can find a post of mine that is particularly anti-adviser on any of the forums.

    One of yours not too Pro advisers "Kick one adviser - and the rest limp! Talk about stick together right or wrong."

    Sure things can be read in different ways, that's what keeps the courts busy,

    The courts speak English. you should try learning it sometime.

    but I disagree that only those looking for touting would see it that way - in fact it could only be more obvious if it said, "contact me and I'll sort it out"

    Well it didnt say that as that would be touting and as far as I know you are the only one complaining!

    Sorry Op there is always one getting in the way of getting answers to your questions in a simple and easy to understand way..

    Why does every thread on this board turn into a rant against mortgage advisors?
    I think we should respect that we get free advice from the people that are advisors and they say that they are advisors in their sigs so what's the problem?

    Thankyou, we do actually get fed up of being treated like scum - its upsetting especially for new advisers who cannot work it out, but you get used to it when you have been here for a while sadly
