Trade associations and regulators
Trade associations and utility regulators are another avenue to
consider when aiming to solve a dispute with a trader/ogranisation,
or, you simple wish to file a complaint.
Trade associations
There is usually a trade association for every conceivable business
sector you can think of. Far too many to list on this page. For
a comprehensive list, visit the web address provided below,

If the business you wish to complain about is within a trade association,
then you can file a complaint to that association. A trade association
should have a code of practice for it's traders. If your complaint
shows a trader has breached the CoP, they may be more compliant
in resolving the complaint, failure to do so may result in their
removal from their association.
Utility regulators
There is a utility regulator for each of the following industries,
Regulators, as the name would suggest, regulate their chosen industry
to ensure a fair and honest practice for UK consumers. Their role
could also be likened to that of a watchdog. Therefore, it is within
their remit to investigate complaints and solve disputes.
