There is also another 'consumer' type thing in the wings - I should have had this finished by now, but due to unforceen circumstances, I am only just starting work on it again.
It's like a 'credit scoring device' for the companies.
It seems unfair that they can affect our rating, but we cannot do a thing in return when they c*ck-up or leave us out of pocket.
The balance needs to be redressed.

Sadly, IMHO you understand, Which! is the same. There is no consumer 'champion' any more.

I think it needs to be stepped up considerably before the word 'champion' comes into it.
Ideas are greatly received as to how we can acheive this.

I wrote the following letter to my MP recently on the subject of Bailiffs/Local Authorities
Dear Ms Cooper,
I am writing to you as a concerned constituent, to tell you about a problem of which I have become aware in recent months. I am a member of a forum which deals with consumer issues and which is becoming increasingly pro-active in lobbying for the abolition of unfair and/or unlawful practices.
The problem is the unscrupulous and often unlawful actions of bailiffs who are appointed by local authorities to collect overdue, unpaid council tax and parking fines.
As you will know, bailiffs appointed by local councils are required to be certificated and are licensed to practise by their local county court. Fees that are to be charged by certificated bailiffs are governed by a published scale.
Many certificated bailiffs are displaying a complete disregard for the rules relating to their approach and dealings with debtors. Abuse of the system is widespread, resulting in debtors being intimidated, misled, harassed and overcharged.
Most debtors are already in dire financial straits, meaning that the additional burden of exorbitant bailiffs’ fees is unbearable. Many of these debtors are in especially vulnerable categories, such as single parents, those in receipt of DLA, the elderly, family carers and the educationally disadvantaged.
Another disturbing aspect of this problem is the role of the local authorities or councils. There are many examples of councils apparently shrugging off their responsibilities once debts have been handed over to their bailiffs. Bailiffs in many areas are allowed to engage in debt collection with no apparent control or audit from their employers, the councils. Codes of conduct, such as that published by Manchester City Council, are few and far between.
I appreciate that you have many parliamentary interests but I hope that you will be sufficiently concerned to require more information. Anecdotal evidence is readily available. I would be pleased to expand on this topic when you next hold a constituency surgery.
Yours sincerely
Elsinore
