Headline : Hold company bosses responsible for cold calls, Government told.

 

 

Excerpt from the Link "Heads of companies should be held responsible for nuisance phone calls to consumer's private numbers as they make lives a misery, a Government task force has recommended.

Over a billion "cold calls" are made every year much, most of which distress the people who pick up, the expert report said.

Complaints to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) reached 18,594 for live calls and 22,072 for automated messages between April and June. Most focused on accident claims, payday loans and debt management.

The high number of complaints about this distressing sales practice has lead the ICO to call on the government to hold executives to account if their company fails to follow the rules on cold calling, the Nuisance Calls Task Force said.

Which?"

 

 

 

My thoughts :

 

I'm sure we've all been a receiver of these types of calls so anything to cut them down is welcomed. 

 

The Recorded ones from PPI companies are a bug bear for me even tho I'm registered with TPS  {The Telephone Preference Service}

 

Which ones do you get typically ?

This subject really gets me angry as i recieve calls 2-3 times a day offering PPI, loans, accident compensation etc.

 

I block every number a call comes through on and ask they remove me from their records but still get them.

 

Strangely, even though I have had the same number for 8 years, I have only had these issues since joining O2
