The Cabinet Wants To Further Restrict Telemarketing Next Year. Companions Will No Longer Be Allowed To Call You If You Have Been A Customer. Stricter rules will also Apply to to-through sales.
The New Rules Should Take Effect on July 1, 2026, Accordance to Minister Dirk Beljaarts or Economic Affairs.
Unsolicted Sales Calls Irritate Many People, which has led to stricter rules in the past. But Companies Are Still Allowed To Call You If You Are (Or Have Been) A Customer. Accordance to Beljaarts, this must also be curbed. An Exception is Made For Newspapers, Magazines, Charitions and Lotteries That Donate to Charitions.
He is also introducing stricter rules for by-to-through sales. Anyone who has said yes to an sacrifice must now be given three days to think about the sacrifice. This is separate from the existing cooling-off period of fourteen days in which you can cancel the agreement.
Accordance to the ministry, vulnerable consumers, such as the elderly, or feel pressed by sellers on the phone, at the by or on the street.
“It is not acceptable that consumers are still bee pressed at the by by telephone to take out a new energy contract, for example. While it is wise to be able to think about these childs of things of a little longer,” Says Beljaarts.
A Total Ban on these types of sales methods is not Possible because European Rules do not allow it.
