Stop nuisance/illegal calls and texts once and for all

Rejected 18 signatures

What the petition asks

Nuisance calls are relentless, there hasn't been a day gone by in the last few years that I haven't received them and it's getting to the point that there needs to be an investigation into this. It's incredibly stressful to be constantly harassed and I don't believe enough has been done.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
