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

Petition Details

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.

Additional Information

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


If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
