Consumer advice centres report a significant increase in complaints about excessive bills and hidden costs, especially in connection with offers such as “cheap door opening”<\/em> or “door opening from \u20ac15”<\/em>.<\/p>\n\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
