Petition Make it a criminal offence to cold call in person or by phone

We think the Government should make it illegal for companies to cold call on the phone, or turn up on people's doorsteps. We believe cold calling is a form of harassment and intimidation, and wastes the time of victims.

More details

We believe cold calls are becoming more frequent as time goes on, and want this to stop.
