ICO Issues Half A Million Pounds in New Fines as Fight to Tackle Illegal Nuisance Calls Continues

ICO (“The Information Commissioner’s Office”) has issued fines totaling £590,000 to five companies for collectively making 1.9 million unwanted marketing calls that targeted the elderly and people with vulnerabilities.

£1.45 million in fines have now been issued by the ICO since October 2021 to 16 companies for making illegal, unwanted marketing calls, many to people who had taken steps to block nuisance calls by registering with the Telephone Preference Service (“TPS”).

The companies often target older people and people with vulnerabilities, and in most instances, people who already had or did not need the service.
