Consumer Advice Basic consumer advice and information is available on these pages. Information includes advice on buying cars, computers, holiday advice, and advice for the home. For more detailed advice you can contact the national Citizens Advice Consumer helpline on 08454 040506. The Citizens Advice Consumer helpline provides a telephone and online advice service through the Citizen Advice Bureau website. It gives consumers access to advice and information, help in identifying and reporting scams and empowering consumers to resolve individual problems. Citizens Advice Consumer helpline works in partnership with Local Authority Trading Standards Advice Services and provides "first step" advice and information on a full range of consumer problems. Should the advice provided by them fail to resolve your complaint, you may be referred by that service to your local Trading Standards Department. A Consumer Advice Service (CAS) still operates as an integral part of the Trading Standards Division and due to the support of Citizens Advice Consumer helpline we are now able to focus our resources into providing second tier advice, project work and a proactive stance to tackle far reaching issues affecting consumers as a whole. We still welcome local businesses to contact us for advice on their legal obligations.
