Best way to complain about a company

Hello, earlier in the autumn I had a big dispute with Parcelmonkey (see here: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/4760939)

What would be the most effective way of making a complaint about their conduct? I'm sure I'm not alone here. Thanks.

    I would say trading standards first.
  • OK, I contacted Trading Standards. I remained anon..hopefully my complaint will still be logged though. Cheers.

    In fairness I don't think you need to be anonymous. Trading Standards won't release your name to them without your permission. Did they give you any hope at TS?

    Isn't the correct order to complain about a company:

    1 - Post on MSE
    2 - Reply to posts about your complaint on MSE
    3 - Post on CAG
    4 - Ring CAB
    5 - Contact the company direct

    :)

    Corrected that for you.
