Synopsis

This question-and-answer handbook shows you where you stand on
a multitude of common problems of consumer law, and how to deal with them,
without resorting to costly legal services. If your tour operator goes bust
while you're on holiday, your application for credit has been turned down,
if you regret signing that timeshare contract or you've been bitten by your
neighbour's dog, you want to know what to do right away, and prefereably
without the expense of hiring a lawyer. It explains how and to whom to make
an effective claim and how to use mediation and arbitration schemes,
providing you with the ammunition to fight your own consumer battles and
use the law to your advantage. 450 Legal Problems Solved covers:
* eating out
* holidays, travel and transport
* finance and credit
* neighbours
* public utilities
* buying on the internet
* personal data, injuries and complaints about medical treatment
* and much more
