The number of complaints about package holidays abroad and financial services increased over the period. The complaints made about the package holidays abroad rose by 12.7% from 15,000 to 18,000. And there were about 52,000 complaints about the financial services in 1997, 5.2% up on 1994. There were also more complaints about electric goods and second-hand cars in 1997 than in 1994. The complaints about the two products rose by 9.2% and 6.7% respectively. The former increased from 66,000 to 70,000 and the latter went up from 80,000 to 86,000. Clothing is the only sector where the number of complaints dropped，which decreased by 4% from 45,000 complaints to 43,000. In conclusion, there were more complaints about the products and services during the period with the only exception of clothing.
