Although the shopsare busy and everyone's in a rush for the New Year sales, it isstill important for people to know their rights to avoid that bargain buy turning into a disappointment.
Firstly, there is a wide range of ways to shop these days. A customer’s rights can vary depending on where people do their shopping. So here are my top tips to help people to understand their rights and stay safe online.” • All goods should be of
satisfactory quality and fit for the purpose for which they were bought. If not, you maybe entitled to a refund, exchange or repair. Remem ber the contract is between the buyer and the retailer. If the goods are a gift, make sure you get a gift receipt. If there are problems, it may be the person who bought the item who needs to return the goods. • Not all shops let you re turn clothes if they don’t fit or
Julie Waddington, from Lancashire’s Trading Standards service-herselfaveteranofmanyaNewYearshopping trip - explains customers'rights:
if you just change your mind. You should check at the time you buy. • Ifyou buy online, always
make sure your transaction is secure. Look for the padlock symbol in the address line before giving any card details. Remember that for goods which cost more than £100, you have extra protection if you pay with a credit card. • If you buy something
online or over the phone or from a catalogue, you have seven days from receiving
•the goods to send them back. Ifyou do have to send some thing back, you may have to pay the postage. • Beware of scam sites.
Check whether the website gives a postal address. Is that address in this country? Be very careful about buying from pop-up sites. Read any terms and conditions very carefully. Sometimes custom
ers may never receive their goods, although payment is taken. Ifyou have problems
later on, how are you going to resolve them? Ifthe business is not in the UK or EU, getting your money back could be very difficult. •A r e you buyinggenuine goods? AlwayscheckEbay and

Facebook feedback; Coun terfeit electrical products such as hair straighteners and toys can be unsafe. Be wary of cheap alcohol being sold-in some instances c o u n te r fe i t vod ka has been found which could be seriously damaging to health. •
If you’re on a night out, make sure you aren’t served a
short measure. Always askfor a top up to your pint. Beware of watered or substituted spirits.. • Even at this time ofyear
doorstep sellers and people offering to do work on your property don’t take a break. Myadviceisneverdobusiness on your doorstep. Check out the Safe Trader Scheme at
www.safetrader.org.uk. • If you need to borrow
money to tide you over after Christmas, do not go to a loan shark. In our experience, loan sharks can be very intimidat ing and never let you free of your debt. For debt advice, call the Money Advice Service onoaoo 5005000. To reporta loan shark call 0300 555 2222. County Coun. Janice
Hanson,
cabinet.member for public protection, add ed: “Most businesses are legitimate honest traders, but it’s good to know where to go for advice if things go wrong.” • For further advice on

Strong winds blew away last daysof2013
Someone’s Christmas end-
■ ed with an unwelcome bang when strong winds last Fri day, December 27th, blew a -. tree over onto a car parked near the Social Services of fices off Pimlico Road, Clit heroe. Fortunately no-one was
injured, but this photo - sent- in by reader Peter Haworth- shows the damage to the car. Elsewhere in the Ribble
Valley there were no reports of serious damage to prop erty or major road closures caused by the wind, which was stronger further, north and on the west coast.
- There was some minor flooding in parts of Ribble Valley over Christmas, but again, nothing like as serious as that experienced in other ■ parts of the UK.
