Rejected petition Stop TV/Telecom/Energy companies from increasing your contract when in mid term
Too many companies believe they have a right to increase a consumer prices when in contract. For example each year companies currently have a right to increase your price by 2% inline with inflation even though this wasn't the price you contractually agreed to pay. The price you agree is the price.
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
We can only accept petitions which call for actions that are the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament. Regulation of media and telecommunications contracts is the responsibility of Ofcom, which, while accountable to Parliament, is independent of both the Government and Parliament.
You could raise the issue directly with Ofcom. Find out how to contact Ofcom here:

You could start a new petition about energy prices if that is something you would like to see happen.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
