Have you noticed unusually high prices on essential goods or services, especially during emergencies or peak demand periods? That could be price gouging, a practice where traders take advantage of consumers by unfairly increasing prices.

Consider proximity to public transport, supermarkets, and libraries. A slightly higher rent might save time and travel expenses. Evaluate your options wisely!

A concerned consumer engaged an electrical contractor to perform wiring in their home and made the necessary payment. The contractor, despite having expertise in the work, lacked a license and engaged another licensed contractor to apply for the EFL permit on their behalf.

When purchasing a second-hand vehicle, it is highly recommended to bring a certified or licensed mechanic to inspect the vehicle before making any payments. Vehicles are significant investments, and paying a large sum only to discover defects later is a waste of money.
