New laws equals better protection but mediums and fortune tellers are NOT happy!

The new rules regarding consumer protection will mean better protection for consumers and hopefully banish rogue traders. It is set to ban 31 types of unfair sales tactics and enforce the new regulations on traders such as double glazing salesmen.

There will be no more loopholes for rogue traders, and those who do try to exploit vulnerable consumers could face prison sentences. This will be people who are aggressive in their sales pitches, and those using misleading statements such as phony closing down sales or limited time offers that go on and on and aren’t really ‘limited’ at all.

All that said, one of the leading groups who are opposing the new regulations are mediums and fortune tellers saying it will lead to the end of their business because they will have to tell consumers that their work isn’t experimentally proven” and is “for entertainment only”.
