Hello from North East Derbyshire CAB

North East Derbyshire Citizens Advice Bureau would like to say we are very impressed by this site and hope we can positively contribute in assisting those with debt issues.

We have a number of dedicated debt case workers who hope to contribute in their own time on this site and other forums we are currently members of.

We are a Citizens Advice Bureau committed to providing free, independent, impartial advice, and of course we are a non profit-making organisation.

We hope this is OK Martin, would somebody please contact us if there are any issues or problems with us posting on this website in the present format?

    Hi there, NED CAB.

    Well, welcome to the site!

    While it may very well be that you *are* North East Derbyshire CAB, I don't recall any branch posting on here like this..... and since there are many ways trolls and others try to undermine the work done by this site, in all its manifestations, can I ask you to contact the central administration of the site please? The listings below are copied from the page of Contacts, obtained from the links at the very bottom of the page. They're mostly media, as you'll see, and you're not, but to be honest I'm a little uneasy at seeing your post on here. I hope you understand - an introductory post from one of the webmasters would probably be best.

    The following contacts are strictly for members of the media. Please do not use them as general contacts. These contacts are not to be used to send press releases or information about products.
    • Join the press list

      From time to time MoneySavingExpert.com sends out press releases on MoneySaving topics to journalists. If you would like to be included in the distribution list, please go to http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/presslist.
    • TV/Radio/Magazine/Newspaper Interviews ONLY:

      Looking for an appearance or interview with Martin? Then please contact Knight Ayton Management http://www.knightayton.co.uk/ 114 St. Martin's Lane, WC2N 4BE. Telephone: 020 7836 5333.

      IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ: Knight Ayton does not represent or look after this website in any way. It should not be used by companies looking to send press releases or as a 'route to get to Martin'. It is strictly only for those looking for Martin to do an on-air appearance and that is all it can and will handle. Please do not abuse these contact details.
    • Newspaper/Magazine Quotes or Press Releases ONLY:

      If you're looking for brief quotes or to talk about then website then email [EMAIL="press@moneysavingexpert.com"]press@moneysavingexpert.com[/EMAIL]; alternatively contact the site’s publicity agency EP-site.com on 020 7539 5525.
    • Looking for case studies? You need permission to post on the Forum

      If you are a TV or Radio company, magazine or newspaper looking for a case study from the MoneySaving community using the site's Forum, you must first have permission. Permission is only generally given where the post either tangibly benefits users or the site, or helps the site gain a wider reach.

      To request it please email [EMAIL="press@moneysavingexpert.com"]press@moneysavingexpert.com[/EMAIL]. Any posts asking for case studies without permission will be removed and no further requests from that company then considered.

      Contacting Martin directly
    Sadly we simply can’t offer a service for directly contacting Martin; the site receives many thousands of requests a day and this means most just aren’t answered. If you have a MoneySaving question; please use the information above.

    We do provide a direct e-mail address as a back up for complaints, though it is filtered by members of the team, is not read by Martin directly and takes many days to filter through; it is [EMAIL="Martin@moneysavingexpert.com"]Martin@moneysavingexpert.com[/EMAIL]. Though again, if you send MoneySaving questions, we simply can’t respond.

    Hello and welcome to MSE, or more specifically DFW.

    Just as a general thing, because I'm not sure how long you've been lurking or anything, but you need to obtain permission to have links in your signature. If you don't, then the .sig police will come and take them away... :eek:

    But anyway, welcome. I hope your stay is a happy and productive one...

    As others have said, if you wish to post on MSE in an "Official Capacity" then you need to seek permission from the site admins first.

    For example, the members who post here representing CCCS gained specific permission from Martin before posting.

    The same goes for links in your signature, even if they are ones that have been approved by MSE admins for other posters (like mine).

    Contact: [EMAIL="abuse@moneysavingexpert.com"]abuse@moneysavingexpert.com[/EMAIL]

    But welcome anyway. :)

  • Hi everyone

    I just checked and North East Derbyshire CAB had emailed the abuse team to double check it was ok to post. I've just spoken to Paul there and confirmed they are who they say they are.

    Several helpers will be using this username to give any useful info they think may be relevant for you and possibly answering questions now and then if they know of a resource that could help.

    Thank you to everyone there

    Andrea :)
