Ban cold calling, automated message calling, and cold texting or emailing

Closed 35 signatures

What the petition asks

We are all tired of answering the 'phone and it is a cold caller you didn't want to hear from or didn't request, or it's an automated message telling us about the latest government initiative for windows or whatever. Add the calls or emails or texts about an accident that you may/may not have had.
I am a personal injury, clinical negligence and professional negligence solicitor and I am fed up with people wanting to "help" me when really I'm just another number to try and make money from.
