Five British companies fined for making half a million nuisance calls

The Information Commissioner's Office says the offenders include Applianceservices UK Ltd , Boiler Cover Breakdown Ltd , Boiler Breakdown Ltd , Repair Plans UK Ltd , and Utility Guard Ltd . Andy Curry, head of ICO investigations, said:"We will not stop investigating and taking robust action against companies, to protect people and especially the vulnerable, where we find blatant disregard for the law."

Based in Brighton, AUKL UK was behind 99,313 unsolicited direct marketing calls to TPS users between the start of January 2021 and towards the end of June in the same year. It was fined £85,000 .
