Rejected petition Free paper billing on all essential bills for elderly consumers.

Not many elderly people would know how to use the internet to obtain electronic bills.

More details

My Parents are in there 70s and don't know how to use the internet, yet they like the idea of saving money, hence email billing. They assume all bills are correct, until one day I have helped them checked through their bills, we realised they were charged for something that they wouldn't have used or needed.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

If you would like Parliament to change the law, to require all companies to offer free paper billing for all customers above a certain age, you could start a petition asking for that.

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