The firm was also accused of misleadingly suggesting it was representing the UK Government
A Preston energy firm has been fined £130,00 after bombarding people with half a million unwanted marketing calls.
The firm, based at Navigation Business Village in Ashton and specialising in green energy, was hit with the fine by the Information Commissioner’s Office after 37 complaints were made against it. It is against the law for organisations to make marketing calls to anyone signed up with the TPS or CTPS unless they have specifically consented.
Andy Curry, ICO Head of Investigations, said: “Nobody should be made to feel uncomfortable after simply answering the phone. People and businesses register with the TPS and CTPS for a clear reason; to stop unwanted marketing calls and protect their privacy. These companies have not only broken the law by failing to check the ‘do not call’ register, but also caused distress and potential financial damage to businesses on the receiving end of their deceptive sales tactics.
