You can help - report a doorstep criminal

Unfortunately there are some unscrupulous traders who will prey on our most vulnerable residents if they get the opportunity. Once targeted, people often feel too embarrassed or afraid to ask anyone for help. Can you help us prevent that happening or let us know if it has happened to someone you know?

Remember:

• Don't deal with doorstep callers offering to do work on your home or garden. The work is generally VERY SHODDY and the final price is likely to very much higher than originally quoted.
• Consumers who do decide to buy goods or services from doorstep sellers have certain rights, and should insist on them. Find out more about your rights on our advice page or call Consumer Direct on 08454 04 05 06.
