There are various ways that a company can mis-sell to you.

These include pretending to be another company; not giving you correct package costs; and not giving you the full story on minimum contract periods, or penalty charges if you close the contract early.

Ofcom has strict rules which ban all forms of mis-selling and companies which break these rules can be fined up to 10 per cent of their turnover.
