Today on my visit to Mugla I noticed a new place had opened that looked like tourist information, but when I entered it appears it is the Turkish equivalent of our CAB.
Alo179 is its name and they speak English amongst other languages as Russian, German and Dutch etc. It is also a 24hr service and the sole purpose is to help foreigners who live here. It is called ALO-179 Tourizm but it was explained that they use that word because it is friendlier, but it is a helpline/service for foreigners in reality and covers any subject matter
You can only use them from within Turkey and the email is alo.179@hotmail.com. Telephone number is 179 all work undertaken is free and they strive to act the same day you give them a complaint either against the government or individuals.
If you are having problems in court etc then forward the info with court numbers etc and they have the power to demand your case files apparently. On a lesser not though they will take on or advise you on problems you are experiencing with rogue builders or utilities, in fact they have a broad remit.
They do have clout because they are working under the governor
They are actively looking for cases to take on so that they can prove it needs extending. I mentioned I would post on here and they were happy for anyone on this forum to contact them by email or phone and they will help.
If anyone uses them can they post what happened?
