Blackburn CAB switch to 0844.

"THE Citizens Advice Bureau (CAB) has been criticised for bringing in a premium rate phone number.

Residents looking for the Blackburn’s branch phone number of the service’s website are directed to an 0844 number, rather than a 01254 number as previously advertised."

Full story here:

I see that old excuse is trundled out.

“We’re committed to making our advice services as accessible as possible and in some cases the cost of calling our telephone advice lines is lower than the equivalent geographic number would be.”

Absolutely; a reliance on what some callers pay rather than focusing on the Service Charge all callers pay and which Citizens Advice benefits from.
