Rejected petition Get companies to stop late payment charges.

Have you noticed that if you pay your bills early or on time and on just 1 occasion you are late with payment the company makes a charge. I don't think this right and good customers shouldn't be treated this way. Nearly all companies do this e.g Virgin, Talk talk etc.

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't accept your petition because the issue you raise is not the responsibility of the Government or Parliament. That is an operational decision for individual companies. You could start a petition calling on Parliament to change the law, so that companies are not legally allowed to apply late payment charges.

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