Ban on 'Subscription Traps' Brought Forward by Three Months The UK government has announced it will bring forward the ban on "subscription traps" by three months, an effort to address the country's cost of living crisis.
The measures announced by Prime Minister Andy Burnham are a step in the right direction, but they may not go far enough to protect consumers from exploitative practices.
Statistics show that 10 million unwanted subscriptions exist across the UK, with over 3. 5 million people being rolled into fully costed contracts without their knowledge or consent.
