It’s very close to home, affects our family, non payment still means we have bills, slander out of spite also affects earnings & reputation. Not enough protection at all

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We understand that you're concerned about non-payment for services, and slander against tradespeople, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.

Tradespeople can already take legal action if a customer does not pay for their services, or slanders them.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
