Trading Standards

[Angry Cat]

Dorset Trading Standards prosected these under the consumer protection laws (quite right too:

But, in general TS have failed to take enforcement action(s) against the Banks/DCA's!?

Many have pressed TS to take enforcement action against the Banks/DCA's but they always appear reluctant when faced with prosecuting the giants in the financial industry...?

Ivan Hancock, principal Trading Standards officer for Dorset County Council, said: "I'm staggered at the number of complaints we have had in a short space of time. We've already had over 50 this morning.
"That's quite alarming. We are looking at what enforcement action is appropriate. It does appear as though some misdescriptions have been applied." He added that the department did not have the power to shut down the attraction. [Quote]

On or around the same time, Lambeth & Caerphilly TS received in excess of 50 complaints about Link Financial Limited, but no enforcement action was taken?
