New legislation on nuisance phone calls and texts

[Beenherebefore]

At last it would seem that action is being taken and the threshold is being reduced when the company can be fined. New legislation could be in place by June 2015

Until now it has not been possible to obtain a successful prosecution unless "substantial harm or substantial distress" has been caused.

The proposal is to reduce the threshold to causing "annoyance, inconvenience or anxiety"

This link allows a complaint to be registered for all marketing nuisance communications :

I normally never let the call get far enough to hear the name of the company that's calling. I sometimes interrupt their patter by telling them they've reached the Metropolitan Police Department. Funnily enough, they usually hang up.
