Most Civil Servants who deal with these matters are lowly paid Clerical Officers who probably went to the local comprehensive school, and can only just afford to live. Perhaps you need to drop the vitriol from your postings and do some research about things.
And I'm still trying to understand the relevance of the last 2 paragraphs!!
I really doubt the multimillion GoviaTL contract was decided by a junior clerical officer! Something high profile like that will have gone all the way to the Minister.
In the last two paragraphs I was replying to Yorkie, discussing the best route for complaints, as other less hostile posters seemed to understand perfectly
The Advertising Standards Authority considers a company's website to be one big advertisement and will be happy to consider that type of complaint.
Yes, but they will be considering whether the company itself should be allowed to make that kind of advertisement, and may fine the company if they deem it breaks the rules.
They'd be less interested in how an individual sale made by the company violated any rights of an individual consumer - Trading Standards would more typically pursue such things, and see the consumer is recompensed.
Alternatively, the Dept of Transport's "Passenger Focus" watchdog can act as an ombudsman when a TOC's own complaint's process has bourne no fruit.
But hey, shop 'em to all three, I say!
