Untrue statement
They told me something that wasn't true about a service
The Fair Trading Act makes it illegal for traders to mislead consumers, give you false information, or use unfair trading practices. If you have been misled or deceived you may be able to claim compensation.
The Act applies to advertising and servcies, auctions and commercial sales. But it doesn't cover private sales.
