Recommended Posts

Saw one of their vans today, dirty is the polite term.

Bit far to go, are they expanding?

We did sign voluntary undertakings in January 2005 and July 2009 with the Office of Fair Trading that merely indicated a desire to comply with complex directives.

We work closely with Birmingham Trading Standards and volunteered to enter a ‘Home Authority Agreement’ in 2009.

Anyone else entered into a 'voluntary undertaking' or 'home authority agreement' with Trading Standards ... have to admit that I've never been involved in any form of agreement with Trading Standards ... what are they?

They seem to be using trading standards involvement as some sort of endorsement. I wonder if trading standards know about that? Somebody fancy giving them a call?

Thought NSI had looked into this lot several times...and claim to be doing so currently.

Sounds like a nice guy. I know who to call if I want a security system.

One of their testomonials on the website is a classic:

I had a heart attack in my home - the alarm system was a life saver!

AM i reading it wrong.

The company was formed in 2003 by the looks of their marketing material

2 yrs later trading standards are hving a word with them

And its still going on in 2009.

2010 and watchdog are involved.

I can see how this is a one off incident whistle.gif
