The Office of Fair Trading (OFT) was a not-for-profit and non-ministerial government department of the United Kingdom established by the Fair Trading Act 1973 which enforces both consumer protection and competition law acting as the UK’s economic regulator. The OFT’s goal is to make markets work well for consumers ensuring vigorous competition between fair-dealing businesses and prohibiting unfair practices such as rogue trading scams and cartels.
