Hi,
I've fairly new to the forum and was wondering about people's views on giving so much personal information out to enter the comps, name, address, phone number, date of birth etc. Particularly concerned about the date of birth. Have thought about using a false one but then wouldn't want to win something only to find I can't have it cos of wrong date of birth. Are others comfortable is giving out their info. Thanks in advance Gillian

Using real name?

Is that your real name you have used as your forum name?
That is the first thing you should NOT do and is one of the few reasons that MSE will let you change your user name.
Q. How can I change my username?
A. In most circumstances, this is not permitted.
The only reason we will change your username is if it puts your privacy at risk. This usually means you've inadvertently registered using your name, email address or something that gives away your identity within your username.
If you fall into this category, email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com and request that it is changed, giving three alternative usernames in order of preference.0
