Citizens Advice consumer service
The Citizens Advice consumer service provides free, confidential, impartial and independent advice which can help you to sort out your problems or arguments with suppliers of goods or services.
Consumer safety
Everyone comes into daily contact with countless different products - from clothes to computers, from food to toys and everything else in between. All consumer goods should be safe and not cause damage or injury.
Citizens Advice can give you detailed advice on the law or help you complain about the safety of something you've bought.
The service works in partnership with Trading Standards. More complex problems or complaints which may need further investigation are referred to Trading Standards.
If you'd like to speak to an adviser, then please telephone: 0808 223 1133 on Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm.
Citizens Advice also provide a wide range of consumer information and advice.
Full details of how we work with Citizens Advice and how we deal with consumer issues are contained within our consumer advice and enquiries policy.
