The sole aim of UK Doorstep Choice (UKDC) is to represent and protect your human right to privacy whilst in your own home, UKDC represents people who, for whatever reason, do not want unsolicited legitimate sales, charity or religious groups knocking at the door of their home. UKDC operates on a 'not for profit' basis as we believe representing our members' right to privacy is not about making a profit. All companies, charities and religious groups that operate door to door in the UK can recognise the UKDC and our unique membership door sticker and have both a moral and legal duty to respect your right to privacy when informed of it. The Consumer Protection Regulations which came in to force 26th May 2008, and which implement the EU directive on unfair commercial practices, mark the biggest shake-up in consumer law for 40 years. | |  | | As well as a duty for companies not to trade unfairly and to avoid misleading statements or omissions, there is also a duty on businesses not to conduct aggressive sales practices, such as harassment, coercion and undue influence. However this legal protection only applies after the initial contact. UK Doorstep Choice prevents the call being made in the first place. The Police,Trading Standards, the Charity Commission and the Office of Fair Trading all identify with the fundamental right of a householder not to receive unsolicited callers should they choose not to receive them. In addition the protection of a consumer's rights and recognition of their right to privacy at home is expected from any responsible and ethically led organisation that operates door to door in the UK. UK Doorstep Choice allows you to take control of the situation by preventing unsolicited callers in the first place. Take control and get in touch now! |
