A contact email address for Consumer Direct

Carl Barfield made this Freedom of Information request to Office of Fair Trading

The request was partially successful.

From: Carl Barfield

10 December 2010

Dear Office of Fair Trading,

I am unable to find an email or mail address or a fax number on
your Consumer Direct web site. This makes it impossible to keep a
copy in a durable medium of any communication I have with that
service.

Please let me know a contact email address for Consumer Direct.
Alternatively, please let provide me with any information apropos
past and present decisions to not publish an email address on that
web site.

Yours faithfully,

Carl Barfield

Dear Mr Barfield

Thank you for your email dated 10 December. My colleagues in the Information Access Team have passed your email request to me, as I work with the Consumer Direct central team at the OFT.

As you are probably aware Consumer Direct (CD) is a government-funded telephone and online service offering information and advice on consumer issues. The service is managed by the OFT and we have contact centres based across England, Scotland and Wales.

In response to your request, the service does not have a central email address, all it's email correspondence goes through our online webform, this allows us to direct email correspondence to the appropriate CD centre according to the individuals location. The following link will take you directly to our 'contact us' page http://www.consumerdirect.gov.uk/contact .

Our postal address is the following:
Consumer Direct
Office of Fair Trading
Fleetbank House
2-6 Salisbury Square
London
EC4Y 8JX

CD does not have a public fax number. Details about our complaints procedure can be found using the following link

I hope this information is useful to you. If you have any additional questions please get back to me.
Regards
Salva

Carl, the response from Salvatrice Di.Genova is unhelpful, but what is wrong with the email address you were given in 2009?:
