While doorstep selling is legal in the UK, you have rights and protections under consumer law. Here’s what you need to know: ✅ You have the right to cancel any contract made at your home within 14 days – no reason needed.
✅ Sellers must provide clear information including their name, business address, total cost, cancellation rights, and delivery details.
✅ You can refuse entry to any doorstep seller.
✅ If you feel pressured or uncomfortable, say no and close the door.
✅ No Cold Calling Zones may apply in your area – check with your local council.
✅ Report suspicious behaviour to: - Police (non-emergency): 101
- Action Fraud: www.actionfraud.police.uk or call 0300 123 2040
- Trading Standards via Citizens Advice: 0808 223 1133
Tips to stay safe: - Always ask for ID and verify it independently.
- Never feel pressured to sign or pay on the spot.
- Display a “No Cold Calling” sticker if you don’t want uninvited sellers.
📌 If you or someone you know has been approached and felt uncomfortable, please report it. Your vigilance helps keep our community safe. |
