LONDON - The Information Commissioner's Office has hardened its stance on policing the Telephone Preference Service by issuing formal warnings to companies including Carphone Warehouse and Toucan Telecom to stop calling TPS-registered phone numbers.
It said it the companies warned have failed to comply with informal requests, so it has decided to change its approach from negotiation to enforcement. It is also investigating other cases and may issue warnings to more companies.
It has sent out preliminary notices indicating its intention to serve a enforcement notice requiring the companies to comply with Regulation 21 of the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations by ceasing marketing calls to people who have asked the company to stop calling them and/or who are registered with the TPS.
