StepChange Debt Charity welcomes announcement on nuisance calls

30 July, 2013

In response to the Department of Culture Media and Sport’s (DCMS) announcement on cracking down on nuisance calls, StepChange Debt Charity head of policy Peter Tutton said:

“Today’s announcement is welcome, nuisance and cold calling are more than just an everyday irritation, they pose significant risks to financially vulnerable consumers. We have seen too many cases where consumers’ financial position has been made worse by payday loans or debt management services taken out as a result of unscrupulous and unsolicited marketing calls.”
