KwikChex works extensively with many authorities and official consumer protection organisations, including law enforcement, government departments and specialist sector regulators.
KwikChex has been consulted by the UK Ministry of Justice on online defamation, as part of the process of bringing in new defamation laws, and by the Competition and Markets Authority on online reviews — work that culminated in recommendations and actions by the CMA. The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission has also consulted KwikChex regarding online reviews.
Our intelligence and evidence is used both to prevent consumers falling victim to crime and to apprehend and prosecute those responsible.
We provide consultation, intelligence, investigative findings and evidence packages to Trading Standards services, police forces, regulators and consumer protection bodies dealing with online fraud, fake reviews and misleading trading.
Much of our engagement with enforcement bodies is collaborative and provided without charge. Larger consultancy or research projects are scoped and quoted individually.
Yes. Our investigations are documented so findings can support enforcement action, and we have contributed evidence to prosecutions and regulatory action in the UK and abroad.
