Used cars top complaint list

Used cars bought from independent dealers drew the highest number of complaints from disgruntled consumers in the last year, according to new figures.

Citizens Advice has called on retailers to display consumer rights information at checkouts after more than half a million people complained about shoddy products worth £3.5 billion in the last year.

Figures show 45,000 used car buyers lodged a complaint in the year to February, followed by 12,000 regarding mobile phone contracts and 11,500 about garage repairs.
