Consumer complaint
We would always advise that in the event of a complaint the first contact is made with the trader by you - preferably in the form a letter (with proof of delivery). If that has not worked, if you are located in the UK, Directgov gives advice on your consumer rights. From outside the UK contact the UK European Consumer Centre.
Other complaints
Please contact Waltham Forest Direct and ask for the licensing team in the first instance for matters concerning:
- Licence holder redress
- Failed application redress
- Other redress - include other complaints relating to another aspect of the operation such as noise, pollution or public health
