web chat facility.
When you haven’t access to the internet, or if you would just prefer to speak with
an advisor, then you can call the Citizens Advice consumer helpline on 0808 223
1133. This is also the number to use to report something to trading standards.
If you would just prefer to speak with someone in person, then this is supported
though the network of local Citizens Advice offices found in Dorset’s larger towns.
As you can see there are many ways to receive independent and trusted
consumer advice from Citizens Advice. Hopefully nothing will go wrong with your
purchases this Christmas, but if it does then Citizens Advice is here to help.
