The Trading Standards Service has had brought to its attention telephone cold calls from an alarm sales company offering external alarms at £1.00. Residents should be aware that this sort of approach, which can be accompanied by a high pressure sales pitch, loads the cost of the alarm system on to its fitting and monitoring. This can lead to consumers purchasing unsuitable alarm systems that cost many thousands of pounds to run.
If you do sign a contract in your home following an unsolicited visit, or a visit arranged following an unsolicited phone call, you have 7 days within which to cancel the contract.
