CMC fined £200,000 for illegal nuisance calls

A CMC, Brazier Consulting Services Ltd (BCS), was fined £200,000 for making more than 11 million unlawful claims management calls.

The ICO’s penalty notice makes clear that BCS failed to evidence sufficient consent to call any of the complainants. The ICO also found no evidence to suggest that BCS provided any training to staff in relation to the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR).
