[edit] Summary

Have added some more detail to this article, but needs to be tidier/fuller. Possibile ideas:

  • Does not apply to... marketing calls - any evidence that this get used as a loophole?
  • adding section/link on "Slient Calls"?
  • Adding company viewpoint, list cleaning, does it help stop wasted calls, do the 'easily sold to' register as they find it hard to say no?
  • problem of lodging complaint - mention TPS to any UK telemarketer, and they hang up. 1471 gives 'number withheld'.

I also recall an old article pointing out that despite many complaints, no company has even been fined under these regulations, which is interesting, but I didn't put it in as could not find a source which confirmed or denied this. (was old bbc article, iirc)
