This is from a discussion on the electrical industry and I am certainly one of those consumers who believed at one time that that the regulatory authorities are in place not only to ensure regulation within their own industries but also there for my protection.

However after having tackled and tested the ombudsmen from the banking, financial services and insurance industries, the estate agents board, the medical council and the natal Law society without one success despite obvious transgressions by their members, I have come to the conclusion that these 'organisations' could be no different to a laundry operating as a front for organised crime.

Has anybody out there had a positive experience when it comes to these great people that have been put out there as front men for dodgy practises within industries that govern our everyday lives?
