Rip Off Tip Off

'Rip Off Tip Off' is a website designed to provide an on-line facility for consumers or traders to tell the 'rip off tip off' team, anonymously if they wish, about rogue traders who they suspect are ripping off the public.

Rogue builders and car dealers, unscrupulous doorstep traders, traders who sell or make counterfeit goods, loan sharks, bogus homeworking schemes, and bogus competitions are some of the areas that the 'rip off tip off' team want to hear about.

To report a rogue trader, visit the Rip Off Tip Off website.

Customer Consultation Form

As with most organisations the resources which are available do not enable us to do all that we would like. We therefore have to prioritise our activities. The Customer Consultation Form lists some major areas of activity for the Trading Standards Service. Please indicate how important each area is to you.
