Refusal to approve a Scrap Metal Dealer
Registration
Please contact us to discuss why you have been
refused a registration, or if you think we have imposed an
unreasonable condition.
If you are not happy with our decision, you
can appeal to the Magistrates court. A court may give directions on
the registration, or on conditions set out.
Consumer Complaint
We would always advise that you first contact
the business - preferably in writing (with proof of delivery).
If that has not worked, if you live in the UK, Consumer
Direct will give you advice. From outside the UK contact the
UK European Consumer Centre
