Report author mike Powell says: "Our first research in October 2007 identified a number of serious issues with the way some aggregator websites worked".

"The findings in our latest report show that many of these issues are still with us".

Powell continues: "The aggregator market has boomed over the last two to three years and there have been many new entrants to the market.

With the recent investigation by the FSA, it will be interesting to see how the market reacts.".
