A second pair of eyes before you make a decision.
About UK Purchase Shield
UK Purchase Shield was created to help families and older people pause before agreeing to unexpected purchases, contracts or sales offers.
When a member receives a sales call or offer, they can contact our dedicated hotline before making a decision.
Our team checks available information about the company, offer and potential warning signs, gives the member a clear answer on the phone, and then sends a written summary by email.
