Default Money and Misleading Advetising

Christmas Season is approaching and money that easy comes, easy goes, even though sometimes is not that easy making money, so being aware of catchy ads intentende to clean our pockets is convenient.

Interesting reading on this subject is available at Office of Fair Trading - Misleading adverts

Also worth bearing in mind consumer rights - I got burned by Comet a while back, and had to really look into this:
Brian’s Business Blog » Don’t buy from Comet

I don't plan to get burned like this again.

Thanks Brian, because we often forget that consumer rights are the only tool we have to fight against mischievous merchant.

By the way, your blog has useful information and neat design

I got stung big time by argos a while back!
More or less the same situation Bryan!
And it was also around the christmas time season of good will and all!
I hate all the big companies, once they've got your cash, they're very reluctant to give it back even if it is them in the wrong!
