Government should ‘strengthen law on nuisance calls’
Six out of ten people registered with the Telephone Preference Service (TPS) are not satisfied with the service, according to a statement by consumer watchdog Which?. The statement revealed that 85% of people registered with the TPS still receive unwanted calls, with one in ten getting 50 or more of these calls each month. Several proposals were made to Government including obliging firms making marketing calls to provide a Caller ID so consumers can report nuisance calls to regulators; extending the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) to cover all companies selling personal data; and forcing regulators to publish information about enforcement action they are taking.
