Complaints – Code of Practice – Pre-Contract Information
Pre-contract information and what to do if you have a complaint
Consumer Contracts Regulations (CCRS)
The law changed on the 13th June 2014 and consumers are required by law to be provided with pre-contract information.
The main points of CCR’s are:-
- The cooling-off period for goods and services sold by distance or by off-premises selling has been harmonised across the EU to 14 days from date of delivery of the products
- There are some important exemptions, one of which is for products “made to the consumer’s specification” – this will include such products as made-to-measure windows made to a consumer’s specific requirements; another is for urgent repairs and maintenance when a consumer invites a trader to their home.
- There is a now a list of pre-contract information which must be provided to consumers before a contract is made, including advising cancellation rights and if a trader belongs to a code of conduct. Failure to provide certain items will give a consumer a cooling-off period of up to 379 days, and the trader would be liable to a fine of up to £5,000
