Slamming

‘Slamming’ is where you are moved to a new communications provider without your knowledge or consent.

Mis-selling: fixed line services

  Consumers continue to play a vital role in helping us tackle mis-selling.

Mis-selling: mobile phone services

If a company has mis-led you in to agreeing to their services, this may breach Ofcom rules.

Mis-selling: broadband services

While most broadband services are sold honestly and fairly, keep an eye out for those that aren’t.

Misleading advertising

By law, advertisements must be legal, decent, honest and truthful in the way they sell to us.
