Michael Pollitt has been alerted to developments in Norway.  Here, the consumer bodies have acted to protect their consumers against the unwanted actiivities of Platte by getting Google to agree to their removal from their search engines and by the cooperation of a major bank closing down their bank account.  At least, this is what I have gleaned from reading the google translation from the Norwegian.

If we have further news about this, we will keep you posted on the forum.  I think we need to remind our own authorities that they, too, should be taking appropriate action to prevent UK citizens from finding themselves subjected to this kind of business model in the future.

See here for Michael Pollitt's piece in today's Guardian updating the information about Norway's actions.

I wonder how many forum members feel that it is time to take the issue up again with the OFT to ask why they have chosen to leave British consumers exposed?
