Be nice if they advised people where to read the code and what to say, in order that more people can do it, rather than just advising against it.

Reminds me of this: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/personalfinance/borrowing/creditcards/10231556/Man-who-created-own-credit-card-sues-bank-for-not-sticking-to-terms.html

Man doesn't like new credit card terms, so adjusts the fine print by hand, company doesn't bother to read, signs the agreement and sends back

Very clever

The bit where they state

quote:
They say phone line providers must meet consumer protection standards, which include transparency, fairness and complaint handling, which would mean clearly setting out the cost of each call to any organisation that rang.


Is just complete rubbish. I have never been told on the call how much it was going to cost.
