Good news for individuals who use Bloctel to oppose unlocked telephone canvassing.From 2022, all registrations for the red list will be automatically renewed every three years.

This is excellent news for individuals.As of January 1, 2022, any registration on Bloctel will be automatically renewed, without the need to do anything.As was noticed on Twitter, a decree appeared in the Official Journal on November 28, 2021.He details in particular the "tacit renewal conditions of the registration on the list of opposition to canvassing".

Bloctel is a service that was launched by the authorities in June 2016.With him, we can put a telephone number, fixed or portable, on a red list which in principle prevents unlined commercial demarchages.Bloctel is a suitcase which also designates telephone blocking.However, this red list is unable to respond to all situations.

Bloctel reception.

Bloctel cannot indeed prevent calls in the context of contractual relations - in clear, your ISP (Internet access provider) can always make a phone call to probe and try to convince you to change your package orto take this or that service, which you are promised to have almost no impact on your monthly invoice.Bloctel cannot act against a third party which breaks the law on canvassing.

That said, Bloctel provides tools in its space to report advertising demarchages which seem to be complied with your presence on a red list.These alerts then went back to the DGCCRF (Directorate General for Competition, Consumption and the Suppression of Fraud), which can trigger surveys.At the end of the race, fines can climb up to 75,000 euros (for a natural person) and 375,000 euros (for a legal person).

You will not have much to do once on a red list

Why should we wait until January 1, 2022?Because it is on this date that the text will come into force.It includes a provision which modifies the formulation of an article of the Consumer Code (R.223-3), in order to remove a thorn from the foot of individuals who receive commercial solicitations by phone.In short, it will be enough to register only once and that's all.There will be nothing to do.

Today, the law is written as follows: "The organization informs the consumer at least three months before the deadline for his registration on the list of methods allowing him to renew it".Tomorrow, she will say that "this registration is tacitly renewable by period of three years" and will specify the methods to be satisfied to unsubscribe, again at the time of registration and three months before the deadline.

This reversal appears consistent with the wishes and practices of individuals.By registering on Bloctel, we guess that they intend to stay there a priori and do not want to recall it, even if the deadlines fall every three years - it is the duration of the registration on Bloctel.This regime will remain on January 1, 2022, but will therefore concern especially those who want to unsubscribe.

In this context, you will no longer need to put an alert in the calendar or carefully check your reception box, to find out when you have to return to Bloctel to re -register for three years.The process is certainly simple, but as much to facilitate the lives of individuals even more, starting from the principle that once you are in Bloctel, we want to stay there.

Missing the deadline is not at all dramatic anyway: it is possible to register at any time, even after the three -year deadline.Ditto for unsubscription: this can be made on the date of its choice.The process is completely free.On the other hand, its effectiveness can have a latency time: if the registration is immediate, it takes 30 days of delay for commercial calls to cease well.

And in case of spam by SMS, then?Blocktel is powerless on this land.However, this does not mean that you are without resources.If you receive texts that annoy you, you must go through the 33700 and answer stop to get out of the diffusion lists, in principle.And on the email side, you can get closer to Signal-Spam.
