Thanks Solventcandy

Surely Virgin Media has a legal obligation to customers to ensure that they a visited by by a salesperson who has been checked?

They are certainly able to demand that these checks are carried out prior to appointing sales staff.

I have done a bit of reasearch myself and British Gas, Eon, Scottish Power, Npower and Sky ensure that all of their staff have to complete background checking on individuals before they are allowed to visit customers.

If they can do it why cant Virgin Media?

You are talking about spent convictions which wouldnt even show on a criminal reference check as it is spent?

I am talking about staff with unspent convictions visiting customers.
