Does anyone have any experiences with the Telephone Preference Service actually doing anything about unwanted calls. We signed up for it a couple of years ago to stop calls to ex-directory number but now they are starting again. I have read that although they can fine companies up to £20,000 they never have done.
Any stories - good or bad?

TPS registration lapses after a period of time - you need to ensure that you're still registered before complaining.

In order to complain you need as much detail as you can get from the cold-callers.

Source?


Edit: Just found this on tpsonline.org.uk

Thanks for that info guys. Anybody complained and had any results?

Good to know that I do not have to renew my registration with the TPS service!

Don't bank on it - I've had to do mine 3 times to get it to 'stick' since I moved house.....

If you input your phone number here and press continue it will automatically confirm whether the number is currently registered

If not, you can continue to register it - if you move house then you may well need to re-register.

Note it can take up to 28days for registration to become active

I've found it stopped almost all the calls, but some from abroad still get through.
I assume they don't have any authority abroad.
