Dear Editor

"Confused, Sheffield S8" (Letters 31 January) will be pleased to know the vast majority of cold calls can be stopped by registering with the Telephone Preference Service. Registration is easy to do yourself at
www.tpsonline.org.uk/tps/. It is effective in 28 days and the difference it makes is amazing. You can also stop most of your junk mail by registering with the Mailing Preference Service at www.mpsonline.org.uk/mpsr/. Some will still get through including that hand delivered by Royal Mail.

Hopefully "Confused, Sheffield S8" and many others feeling the same
frustration now know how easy it is to put a stop to this increasing
problem.

Regards,

Gareth Roberts
