Sometimes finding help when you need it isn’t easy. Firstly you will have to find out who the relevant authority on the subject is and it’s likely that you will have to contact two or three people before you find the one who can help. Sometimes you’ll find the right person, go to ring them up and then find out that their offices are closed.

In other words, it’s a difficult task that will probably be made more stressful by the urgency of the matter in hand.

We at compareandsave.com really don’t like things being difficult for our readers so we decided to gather all of the information together and put it into one place for you.

This is why we have crested the compareandsave.com ‘Who’s who?’ section. Here you will find an a-z listing of the key companies, authorities and watchdogs in the world of personal finance, including what they do, contact details and phone line opening hours .

TIP: Why not print this off and give it to someone you know who hasn’t quite got the hang of using the internet yet (we all know someone like this, don’t we?). Then they can pop it in their address books at home and also have the information to hand when they need it.
