Thousands of consumers contact the CCPC on an annual basis. These contacts include requests for information on consumer rights, complaints against companies, and contacts that are both a complaint and an information request. It is not possible to isolate the number of complaints made to the CCPC. The below figures set out the number of contacts with the CCPC on an annual basis.

CCPC procedures for recording helpline contacts received via email were modified in 2021, meaning that consumers who send multiple emails to the CCPC on the same topic are now classified as one contact only. Previously, all emails received were recorded as contacts. For clarity, the number of contacts received is also provided using the previous method of reporting.
