Did a TS department really give this advise and in writing ????

 

They certainly did!

Would you like a paper copy?

you need to make a complaint about this to the cheif trading standards officer to the local authority that gave you this advice

 

Thanks, I will do that and post the content on my thread.

Someone should send them details of this site for future reference.

 

Well, I could. But should I?

 

I wanted to complain to someone because I was infuriated by AK’s disgraceful lack of business ethics. Trading Standards was suggested as the main repository for such complaints.

.

However, TS have variously referred some complainants to Consumer Direct, the FSA, the DTI, the FOS and Uncle Tom Cobley. In that respect I suppose I did well to get a response at all.

 

Stiffnuts, perhaps you would confirm that complaints regarding the behaviour of DCAs should indeed be directed at Trading Standards? Or are we barking up the wrong tree?

I'm with you BL. There must be many of us who have little or no knowledge of the arcane laws and regulations which these guys are delving into. I'm bewildered by the information (some of it contradictory) which is piling up in this and other threads.

 

Are we anywhere near a summary, which you could all agree on, which clearly states what is and what isn't required?

As a very interested reader of this thread Stiffnuts, I for one am increasingly turned off by your pugnaciousness, arrogance and rudeness. I find it increasingly difficult to read the useful content of your posts because it is increasingly blanketed in bile.

You would help not only the members of this forum, but yourself as well, if you would just calm down a bit and engage in reasoned discussion rather than personalised rant.
