Closed petition Make Cold Calling and Nuisance calls easier to stop
Closed on
I am getting frustrated at companies calling all day and night either trying to sell or harass you into something. Occasionally you miss the call and attempt to call back for the number to be dead. This needs to stop and we need to know who's calling and be able to opt out of these calls.
I am constantly receiving calls about PPI or Personal Injury compensation and it is frustrating, I receive hundreds of these a year and there is no way to track who owns the numbers and therefore its impossible to know who is calling and contact them to demand they stop harassing you
I propose you enforce all companies to register their outbound calling numbers to a database so we can search which company is calling. Also a link or an email address to request they remove your contact details.
