Cold Calls

Trading Standards has become aware of consumers in Cumbria receiving unsolicited telephone calls from a company offering to provide breakdown cover for central heating boilers.  We would always advise consumers never to do business with cold callers whether at the door or on the telephone.  Never give out personal details including credit or debit card numbers.

If you receive a call such as this please report the matter to Trading Standards via the Citizens Advice Consumer Helpline on 08454 04 05 06.

To cut down the number of unwanted telephone sales calls you can contact the Telephone Preference Service on 0845 070 0707 or by visiting www.tpsonline.org.uk
