Hold an inquiry into unfair practises in the pandemic and cost of living crisis

Closed 99 signatures

What the petition asks

We believe many businesses, families and individuals have been unfairly treated by lenders, lawyers & other authorities during the pandemic and cost of living crisis. The Government should launch a public inquiry to investigate evidence of unfair business practises including bullying and harassment.
We believe many citizens have been victims of unfair business practises in recent years and that regulatory bodies and ombudsmen (FCA, SFO, FOS, BBRS, TSA, CAB, Pension and Legal Ombudsman) have been unfit to provide adequate help.
