    shameless - you should also check out the Mail on Sunday as this will be the source of much of the false information you need to deal with!

    Mortgage Solutions is another magazine you can get free, and has some good information at times.

    You should note that this site doesn't check my status as a Mortgage Adviser, so you need to take my word for it.
    This signature is here as I follow MSE's Mortgage Adviser code of conduct. Any posts on here are for information and discussion purposes only and shouldn't be seen as financial advice.



  • Thanks All!

    Toonfish I will check out Mortgage Solutions!

    I stopped getting the Mail on Sunday, I get the Sunday Express for the General Knowledge Crossword!

    Do you mean editorial in the MoS or the Ads?

    Beware the Daily Mail reader. Still, they are always good for a laugh.
    I am an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA). The comments I make are just my opinion and are for discussion purposes only. They are not financial advice and you should not treat them as such. If you feel an area discussed may be relevant to you, then please seek advice from an Independent Financial Adviser local to you.

    They have appointed me as a Mortgage Adviser - I have that in writing.

    They have done the credit checks, etc, apparently, through the network. They haven't written to my two referees - but these are character references, not employment, since I have always been self-employed. They got my letter of reference from the Inland Revenue, since I requested that from the IR - to prove my self-employment.

    Just have to do the Induction Week!

    On the magazine subscription pages online it asks about the Company I will be working for etc. and if I have passed my CeMap. I have completed them, see what happens.
    I think that it might be appropriate if you included a signature in your posts according to the code of conduct to alert posters to your professional involvement.

    First of all I am not yet working. Secondly I am not advising or guiding anybody here, or purporting to.. Thirdly I don't yet have CAS. Do you need any more reasons?

    When I start work I do have a new account set up and a new handle too.

    Why do you have to be so negative and so picky all of the time with every post that anybody else makes?

    Contrary to your signature you do not come across as being at all content with anything.

    Since you are not content you are not happy, hence you spend your time picking fault with everyone else here.

    Kenshaz surely you read the posts about becoming an adviser it doesnt happen overnight contrary to popular opinion. I am sure the when shameless does post as an adviser he/she will use the signature correctly. Personally I think the signature is absolutely barmy but rules are there to be obeyed and so I use it on my posts. Its hardly something to get worked up about after all we are not giving advice so everything is meaningless. If advice was given on this site some people like Edinvestor (where is she by the way) would have been locked up ages ago.
    You should take note of your own signature and chill out.
    I like to give people as many choices as possible to do what I want them to. (Milton H Erickson I think)
  • Aha but I have found the thread re the signature posts for Mortgage Advisers and our Kenshaz decided to take the glory for it being here!!!

    No wonder he is desperate to jump on me!!!
