Misleading Prices

It is a criminal offence for traders to make misleading price claims about goods or services. 

For example, 'was £120. Now £99.99' is misleading if the goods or services have never been provided at the higher price. 

It is also misleading if a trader fails to show 'hidden extras', or to make it clear when a price is conditional on, say, another purchase. 

If you consider that you have been seriously mislead about a price contact the Consumer Advice Centre and ask us to investigate.
