Rejected petition Government to completely ban telephone and door to door sales companies.

Every single day, I am inundated by constant "door to door" and telephone canvassers trying to sell me home improvements products i.e. windows, doors, conservatories and fascia boards. Even though I have updated windows which are only five years old, I still get pestered!

More details

I am fed up with sales companies trying to sell me products I already have and don't want. It is getting too much and I have made complaints to the my telephone preference service whom tell me they are unable to do anything due to companies using mobile phones or change numbers from unknown to marketing and ordinary landline numbers. It's not just home improvement companies. It's also PPI, sky tv and now funeral plans. These companies won't stop unless the government steps in with stricter rule!
