Bucks Trading Standards have had reports of cold calling telephone salespeople phoning High Wycombe residents offering to clean carpets for £8.99. The company is actually offering to clean carpets for £8.99 per sq metre. The company also appears not to give cancellation rights in writing.
Trading Standards advise people not to deal with cold calling traders. Carpet cleaning companies can be found by visiting the Buy With Confidence website www.buywithconfidence.gov.uk . Traders on the Buy With Confidence website have all been Trading Standards approved. Companies offering services in your home must give cancellation rights in writing. Where possible get written quotations before agreeing to having the work done.
Doorstep selling information and information about Scams and cons can be found on the Bucks County Council website www.buckscc.gov.uk and click on the Trading Standards link.
