hi linkers

just looking for some feedback.

my family have been involved in one of those horror stories that is the
usual fodder for the likes of ACA, Today Tonight etc.etc.

up till now we've been going thru the official channels (dept. fair trading,
lawyers, lawyers and more lawyers) and there's no ombudsman for this
industry. 

the whole thing has dragged on for more then 2 years now and my parents are
getting frustrated with the system. one of the options we discussed was
setting up a website to publicise the saga and inviting one of the tv shows
to cover it...

my questions for you guys:

is there any value in getting the media involved?

are there any repercussions with things happening thru official channels if
we go to the media?

cheers
marty
