Just spent the most productive hour with Catharine helping me set up as an Auto-Entrepreneur. I’ve been here for 2 1/2 years and used a number of other services to help with various bureaucracy etc but that was seamless and so informative! Thank you! I will definitely be using Catharine again for Carte Vitale etc. Feels great to finally have someone who can hand-hold me through all of this… highly recommend using Catharine if you’re struggling with French systems and authorities…

I’m not at all sure I’m in the right place for this question but here goes. I have been a member for a while. Just tried to log in to reply to something and entered my user name as 1l55q31uyxa4, which is what I seem to have noted. Didn’t work so I did “Forgot password” and entered my email vivienandcats@gmail.com. That worked. I got in. But how do I change my username?

What would you like to change it to, it’s currently @Vivien_Chapman

I can do that for you if you like or you can go to your profile page and do it yourself :slight_smile:
