It covers a wide range of goods and services bought and used every day including housing, energy and fuel, food, education, transport and financial and legal services.;Specially commissioned by the Scottish Consumer Council, the authors have highlighted many of the ways in which disadvantage is experienced in Scotland - but all the issues raised and problems identified are common to the whole of the UK. Solutions to these problems are suggested throughout and these provide a practical base from which to start addressing consumer disadvantage.
