A Surrey company has been fined for making over a million nuisance calls.

The Information Commissioner’s Office has fined Repair & Assure Limited £180,000 for  calling people registered with the Telephone Preference Service.

The ICO and TPS received 88 complaints about the calls, which all related to washing machine warranties.

It is against the law to make marketing calls to numbers that have been registered with the TPS for more than 28 days, unless consented.
