A super-complaint is a complaint made in the UK by a state-approved "super-complainant" or watchdog organisation on behalf of consumers, which was fast-tracked to a higher authority such as the Office of Fair Trading. The official body now responsible for dealing with general consumer protection super-complaints is the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA).
