Reporting false claims

Bit of a weird one here, who do you tell if you see a company making a false claim about themselves?
There is a company and I'm not going to name and shame but they sell X product and they are claiming to have the widest range of X on the internet and they definitely do not! XD
Just wondering if there's somewhere I could report that to.
They advertise this "fact" pretty heavily on their site as well!

Assuming they're a UK company, report them to Trading Standards.
Preferably the TS department for their local authority, but any TS dept should passing the information on.0 -
I second the ASA as well - this sounds like a case of misleading advertising, which the ASA can investigate and act on.0
