You can report a trading standards issue to Citizens Advice. They will provide you with advice and pass your information on to us. We cannot investigate every complaint or give consumer advice. We use the information to help us make sure local businesses are following the rules.
Report a trading standards issue to Citizens Advice

These websites give advice on how to complain to a business:

To seek redress from a property agent, landlords and tenants can complain to a government approved redress scheme.
