To further update this I have now had a call back (on 26th March) from solicitor and proprietor of TPF Law and www.ppiclaimspeople.com, Tim Fowler.  This followed on from a call I received from one of his staff members at TPF Law (or PPI Claims People who they also trade as) a day ago (on 25th March) wanting to know why I hadn't set back the completed PPI claims back I had been sent after the previous unsolicited call.

When I suggested this was because I wasn't interested and that furthermore their firm should not have been trying to do business with a TPS registered address phone number but I now had all the information I needed to complain about them to the ICO or the Solicitors Regulation Authority the lady wrongly suggested that a TPS opt out was only on a firm by firm basis and not universal and also only lasted for a year or two. Naturally I became rather angry about this untrue information about the TPS and ended up hanging up the phone on her after giving her a few choice words about providing such inaccurate information.

Rather than, as some solicitors might, then rushing to immediate threats of libel actions etc if anyone dared say anything negative or critical about his firm Mr Fowler took an extremely constructive and conciliatory approach and claimed TPF Law would never knowingly attempt to achieve new business introductions from a lead sourcing company that was not complying with the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations and a phone subscriber's registration with the TPS.  He  indicated that his firm's relationship was actually with the second call centre I had been handed over to by the first call centre using the automated announcement on the 0151 number and that the second call centre had never admitted to having any dealings with a firm making calls in such a way or especially to TPS registered numbers.

He then went on to provide the helpful information that he had investigated how my data had been sourced and that it had come from a data vendor called www.media-tactics.co.uk  I found this very interesting and useful news as another caller some days ago, who were quite separate from TPF Law, but who I think were also introduced by an automated call from a call centre also using an automated announcement (that you might be entitled to compensation and to press 5 if interested and 9 if not) also said my data had come from Media Tactics and that they had been assured the data was TPS screened.  So it appears that Media Tactics could be supplying contact data which they indicate is TPS screened but that in fact isn't.

Although the legal liability for making calls to non TPS registered homes actually lies with the caller (although who the caller is may be rather muddied here by the fact the original call bureau passes the call on twice and tries to evade the TPS's complaints procedure by using an automated call) in my opinion the Information Commissioner should be trying to find a way to clamp down on database vendors who may be selling data to clients that they represent as being fully screened against the TPS database but that in fact is not.

Of course it could be that the data from www.media-tactics.co.uk is actually fully TPS screened and has a data field flag that clearly show its TPS registered status for those records but that the call centres who the data is then being sold on to are incapable of using such flags properly.  But because of that risk this does rather beg the question why Media Tactics doesn't only sell lists for these companies to call that have all the TPS registered addresses stripped at source before they are every put anywhere near an outgong call centre operation.

One would hope that at least the ICO might be able to persuade such data vending businesses such as Media Tactics that not supplying data at all for TPS registered numbers to customers who they know are actually large scale cold calling operations might in future be a more sensible way to conduct their business and that might also better protect the privacy of all TPS registered homes.

Data blaggers... after our data. Just hang up or even better, don't pick up. Criminals and tracing agents etc. don't want us to contact the ICO. The more scam and spam calls and texts reported to the ICO, the sooner a number holder is investigated and fined if they are using our data without our consent or try to blag from the thick who engage with these scammers.

I see that some posts of both mine and Capt. Scam Sniper's that were on Page 27 have been removed.

Does that this mean this place actually has moderators and if so then why can't get its act together to also let us subscribe to threads and send us post update emails whenever there is a new post in a thread like any other normal internet discussion forum would.

The services of the site are given free.       If you don't like it, don't use it.

Leave others to make use of a most helpful service without moaning.

Interesting how the trail went cold after my last posts in March 2013.

I suspect it is only because the relentless TPS abusing scammers involved have moved on work for new clients under a new name given that Mr Tim Fowler and his firm may have perhaps finally got the message that this is not a safe or wise way for a solicitor to try and acquire potential new client leads

However plenty of these Nev Wilshire BBC Three program style aggressive deliberately TPS abusing call centres are still at it to this day as I still get several a month (or several a day if I am away from my home number for several weeks and am then back home in the daytime for a few days)

Today I reported this lot in Manchester at https://whocallsme.com/Phone-Number.aspx/01616671660 who go by the name of UK Claims People and claim to be able to get back charges for all add on banking services to your current account that you have been charged for and think you either didn't agree to at all or were missold or misled about/.

Will these scumbags ever get the message unless the ICO starts handing out fines for say £10 million per time to the largest call centres if that is the level of financial reward that they are achieving through their quite relentlessly and deliberately illegal telesales activities.

Nusince calls never leave answer

Media tactics have now been calling be daily (through their other trade names) for a month now. I have complained to every company I can think of and still nothing. I can't believe that this is legal and this company has gotten away with doing this for years! I'm also tps registered which makes it worse!

As you are TPS registered you need to report these calls to TPS.  If you don't do that then TPS doesn't know you are getting them.  TPS is a voluntsry code signed up to by reputable UK based commpanies.  Rogue companies ignore it.  Under the nre law which came in last month you also need to report them to the Information Commissioner's Office.  They, unlike TPS, have the legal powers to fine these companies and their CEOs up to £500,000, so it's really worth doing.
