122 unsolicited advertising calls with high number of unreported cases
During the period from February 1 to July 31, 2021, Apex Assure Limited, which specializes in home appliance repair, made at least 122 unauthorized solicitation calls. The persons concerned had an entry in the TPS register that they did not wish to receive advertising calls. However, this was not matched by the fine recipient.
The UK’s data protection authority, the ICO, suspects that the number of unsolicited advertising calls is high, as its investigations revealed that 1,090,881 calls were made during the period in question.
