Doorstep sales
Many people find high-pressure doorstep sellers intimidating. Remember, just because someone has come to your house it doesn’t mean that you are obliged to buy. Even if you do choose to buy something from a doorstep seller, you still have rights as a consumer.
Most doorstep transactions are covered by doorstep selling regulations. Information about these is available from the Doorstoppers website.
East Sussex Trading Standards operates a Rapid Action Team that can intervene if a doorstep salesperson has infringed these rights. To report a doorstep seller to our Rapid Action Team contact Trading Standards.
'No cold calling' zones
These are being set up around the county. To find out how to get a zone set up in your area, contact Trading Standards.
