What the Guidance Line Is

The Guidance Line is an automated service, not a person. It points you to the right free guide, letter template or tool on our website.

It is a quick way in if you are not sure where to start, for example a faulty item, a parcel that never came, a bill you think is wrong, or a problem with a council or landlord.

Good to Know

  • The line is not staffed, so it cannot look at your own case.
  • Never give card details or passwords on any phone call.
  • Outside the opening hours, our website is open all the time.

When You Want a Person to Look at It

If you would like our team to look at your problem, the best route is our free case review. You can also email us at info@consumerprotection.org.uk.

Calls to 0300 numbers cost the same as calls to standard UK landline numbers. Check with your phone provider if you are not sure what you pay.
