| I've been barking up this tree for a while. OFT/TS will only intervene if ENOUGH people complain. Things to point out; Missing prices on adverts/magazines regarding their products. Any claims of ability to heal/improve the body and/or the mind, written or spoken (though obviously that's harder to prove). Any claims that if you don't take scientology courses, something bad will happen to you/your family etc In order for these to count, you don't have to buy anything. The fact that the offer/claim was made is enough. Here's a government leaflet which outlines the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008: The Office of Fair Trading: Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008 This is the address of the home authority for scientology, due to the CoS registered business address: Surrey County Council Trading Standards Mid Surrey Area Office Bay Tree Avenue Kingston Road Leatherhead Surrey KT22 7SY You can also call Consumer Direct on 08454 04 05 06 Consumer Direct The OFT website: The Office of Fair Trading: making markets work well for consumers |

| They have agreed to remove the claims that their Narconon drug rehabilitation programme is the 'safest' and 'most effective' programme, and that 'residues from drugs and other toxins lodge in the fatty tissues of the body and stay there, even years after they have been ingested.' |
