Information taken from the internet in light of so many changes taking place. There has also been much effort to get people to switch contracts with the door knockers knowing names and addresses. As people enter into a contract this becomes enforceable in a court of law - UNLESS people have been pressured or coerced into a contract or missold a product. The British Law courts are so motivated to make money they have forgotten conveniently their obligation to work for justice. One they they will realise!
Deception to get people to buy a product or to change to another company might actually be a criminal offense. Considering that hundreds of lawyers here have refused to work for justice and say the system is corrupt, it is time for people to wake up!
At least people can learn what is available and shop around. It is intrusive to telephone or knock on doors! There is a warning being given here not to agree to anything being sold to you over the telephone or if someone knocks at your door. They want your signature - the canvassers get paid. Once you agree over the telephone even, you have entered into a contract.
Take notice that many service providing companies state in the start 'this telephone call is being recorded'
