I have a double purpose here...please help :)

I have signed up to this forum to help me understand a few things about the Filipino culture due to my work having me heavily involved with helping a lot of Filipino residents here in the UK and some back in the Phillipines!

I try to converse with many of them, they think its funny that my accent is a little too Spanish, so I wondered if any of you knew any websites or even people that are good at teaching the native language?

The other reason I have come on here is that, as I mentioned, I work with a lot of people who came here to seek a better life and in doing so went to the place where they thought they could trust and borrow money.

I want to know if you have had an experience with the banks when borrowing money for mortgages, loans or taking out credit cards and they have added the dreaded Payment Protection on to your credit. Many of the people who borrowed don't even know they were charged it however...help is at hand, have faith as despite all the negativity surrounding it, you have the right to try and get it back; also reply if you want to discuss this.

I will hopefully be able to provide you with regular news about the banking industry, and where to get help as well as have a good old moan about things here in the UK(I was born here and spend every minute moaning about it!

Anyway, be nice to speak to anyone who is here.

This is true Aromulus, however, as an administrator, you should surely be aware that I have already discussed my dual purpose before registering here on the forum and have agreed to not spam my actual work, hence me not providing any links or contact details.

Feel free to remove me, but considering you are not filipino - yet connected by your partner, then I am sure you are aware that despite the resources available to the UK Filipino community, many of them are not doing this in the fear of not knowing what they are doing and the banks turning them away(which is a fact, whether you like that or not)...hence the reason I was willing to provide helpful info...not so now though after your welcome as your attempts to shoot down my efforts are only going to hinder the communities attempts to claim back what is rightfully theirs.

I have nothing to prove...I certainly expected a few negative views to which I will happily discuss.

Now would your fees be somewhere in the region of 20% should you be successfull in 'helping' your Filipino friends ??
There's been an awfull lot of advertising for PPI claims on TV of late which I'm sure everyone has seen ,including your potential friends/customers.
Would there be a big discount for these Filipino's as they seem to be your main focus, having said they are frightened to go to the banks directly and are therefore considered an easy target ?
BTW,..how is your accent considered a bit too ' Spanish ' for the Filipino ?

Like Aromulus I too hesitate to say anything as with your intro,.... 8 lines to introduce yourself,...16 lines to ply your trade as a PPI adviser ??

Is there any Filipino people on here or is it full of English that have nothing better to do than slate another for trying to help...have I plied the forum with spam? NO, have I supplied anyone with any contact details or names of companies, NO...I love your analytical skills too, maybe you should be a detective Jonny? However, have I mentioned fees? I mentioned I worked for a company, I also mentioned I was going to offer information to help, no mention of fees, your detective skills let you down just a little bit. Maybe you should be less sceptical and read whats in front of you instead of trying to read between the lines that are not there.

With that said, you can all go to hell anyway; the welcome I received was far from impressive - and treatment of another human being is nothing short of bullying by people with nothing better to do.

Thanks for opening my eyes to what potentially could have been a big mistake with wasting my valuable time and energy and to be fair I am happy with my decision to do nothing for anyone here.
