I can confirm that the alternative  number is 020 8185 0710 and it goes to the same menu as the 0845 one.

Welsh speakers should use 020 8185 0717 

The website is http://www.adviceguide.org.uk/england/consumer_e.htm

This is the former Consumer Direct Service which the CAB took over not any other part of CAB.

If you live in Northern Ireland. Channel Islands .Isle Of Man. see http://www.adviceguide.org.uk/england/consumer_e/consumer_protection_for_the_con... for separate contact details.

You would think that all  Local Authority (Trading Standards) websites would quote the alternative number,  some do and many don't. They cant even get call charges right. Shocked

Thanks. These numbers have been listed for a while.

Citizen's Advice Consumer Helpline can also be reached on 0808 156 6030, which answers the same as 0845 404 0506 and 020 8185 0710.

CA Consumer Helpline appears as if it might have numbers from 0808 156 6030 to 6059, although I didn't try them all. I didn't come across any freephone number for the Welsh-speaking line.

The freephone number 0808 156 6030 is still in service. Another, for the record, is 0808 156 2259.

Yes, there seems to be blocks of numbers for (apparently) the same thing. Perhaps these are intended for internal use, e.g. individual Bureaux to ring.
