Is this not the case then?
Personally I find it a bit unnerving, but if there's nothing that Virgin can do then I suppose that's just the way it is.

they might well do if they can justify it some of those especially the gas enginiers can demand access to a house whether or not an adult is there though its very rare that they do but that could put them in the sort of position that could require crb
but as the site from the law firm points out it has to be shown it is needed
don't get me wrong i don't say that you or other as customers are wrong to want people sent to you to be safe
but i cant see at the moment a way they can do that
personaly i think that cold calling should always be done in pairs and that they should never enter a house with just one person in with out it being logged at an office level
that way there is protection for both parties as its know they are there who they are and why
i seefrom the other side too the other day ( not from virgin ) a girl called trying to sell something as it happens i was just on my way out but she would have been willing to come in to go through what ever it was , i could see no one else close if i had been some one of questionable motives it would have been easy to take advantage of that situation
