This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We understand that you're concerned about non-payment for services, and slander against tradespeople, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.

Tradespeople can already take legal action if a customer does not pay for their services, or slanders them.
