Closed petition Make it illegal for companies to be able to cold call.

I would like you to make it illegal for companies to be able to cold call. Robots call people to say that we have heard that you have been in a car accident. There is no way to block all calls, it's frustrating, and for those that may have actually lost someone this way, it's not a nice reminder.

More details

The government should put in place a law to protect it's citizens to ensure that it is not legal or acceptable for companies to randomly call people about car accidents etc.

About petition data

The data shows the number of people who have signed the petition by country as well as in the constituency of each Member of Parliament. This data is available for all petitions on the site. It is not a list of people who have signed the petition. The only name that is shared on the site is that of the petition creator.

We’re waiting for a new Petitions Committee
