Consumer Rights Advice Line

If something’s gone wrong with a product or service, we can help you get a fair deal.

Clear consumer advice that pays for itself

Our Consumer Rights Advice Line connects you directly with our consumer law experts.

We’ll explain your rights, what your options are, and what to do next – clearly and calmly, without legal jargon. A short conversation can save you a lot of time, stress and money.

For many people, the advice pays for itself – adding up to $100s if not $1000s in savings.
