What are some red flags to watch for under the Consumer Rights Act?

A Sorted Team Answered by

When buying goods or services, be wary of companies that refuse to provide clear information about your rights or the terms of sale. High-pressure sales tactics can also be a sign that a seller is trying to push you into a decision without giving you time to consider your options. Look out for hidden fees or charges that aren't disclosed upfront, as well as vague return policies. If a seller is unresponsive to complaints or attempts to downplay your concerns, it may indicate they’re not complying with the Consumer Rights Act. For detailed guidance, consider checking the official gov.uk page on consumer rights.
