Still negotiating/battling with the agents ! Its easier talking about it than doing it, but I already knew that. I had given up the battle but a few 'untruths' have riled me enough to battle on a bit. I'm pretty sure various legalities are on my side but in the end if they wont play ball you are pretty powerless unless you want a very stressful existence. It appears that a very low percentage of people have resisted the pressure to opt out.

If you are a victim of an untruth and can prove it then take the proof to whoever is responsible for this legislation.
Have your agent wrapped up in a legal battle. It will at least serve as a warning to others.
I am sorry but I do not know who the correct authority is though I would like to.Comment

The correct authority is the DTI.
Roots, drop me an email at the address I sent you if you want some further info or help.
