Statement in response to new plans for nuisance call directors to face fines
Statement from Information Commissioner Elizabeth Denham in response to Government plans to introduce fines for company directors heading up nuisance call firms.
Elizabeth Denham said:
“The people running nuisance call companies have little regard for the anxiety and upset they cause all in the name of turning a fast profit.
“We are inundated with complaints from people who are left shaken and distressed by the intrusion on their daily lives.
“We’re quick to fine the companies responsible, but we’ve been speaking to the government about going further than that because we must do all we can to help protect people from these calls.
“Making directors responsible will stop them ducking away from fines by putting their company into liquidation. It will stop them leaving by the back door as the regulator comes through the front door.”
