AOL have local message board facilities. I thought this might be a good medium for raising awareness of the problems we all face on this site and in particular the mis selling of MIG's.

If you are an AOL member click on "Glasgow" messageboards to see what I posted today. If we all posted a similiar (or better message) perhaps we might get lucky and get responses from people who used to work in the Financial Services Industry who are prepared to admit these policies were mis-represented!!!??

It is a shot in the dark....but you never know!

If everyone on the site posted similiar messages we might get more folk signing the e-petition!!!

Give it a try!

Sorry, I should have said to click on "Information wanted" which is the subject under which I posted the message!

I think you have to be an AOL member to view the AOL messageboards.

However your own server may have their own messageboards and again I would urge everyone to raise the subject of Shortfalls.MIG's etc on these boards or anywhere else we can think of.

I we all prepared a letter outlining the issue in general and sent it by e mail to every MP or MSP we could really help ourselves by raising the profile of this problem. Addresses for MP's etc can be found on the internet.

Why don't we all set ourselves a goal to send at least 5 letters by e mail within the next two weeks. If you are worried about confidentiality you can ask whoever you are writing to not to reveal your identity.

Please sign the e petition....you have nothing to fear.
