Petition Action

automated telephone cold calls

Additional Information

A total ban on automated telephone calls trying to sell us meaningless services. I am fed up with being disturbed by a phone call that, when you pick up the receiver, is silent for a short period before some automated voice irritates the heck out of you with drivel.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

There's already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.

You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.

There is one entitled "To prohibit unsolicited or random telemarketing calls" - suggesting one would need to opt-in to receive automated calls.

Hopefully that covers your description. If not, please re-submit.
