Notice one thing
How everything is slanted against the consumer.?
---
Got cold callers? Register with the TPS!
Still getting cold callers? Sucks to be you, complain to the TPS. Oh wait, it was a recorded call? TPS can't help. Oh, it was marketing, call the MRS (Market Research Society). Something else or number withheld? Complain to the ICO. Or maybe it should be Ofcom? Hard to know, it's up to you as the consumer to work this crap out - no one will help you.
Conclusion: the TPS can rarely help.
---
MRS never heard of the company calling you? Well they can't help.
Conclusion: MRS are a waste of carbon.
---
So now you've complained to the ICO, number blocked? ICO can't help. International? ICO can't help.
Conclusion: the ICO can't help.
---
So contact your telephone provider. Even if you have the number, they can't block BUT (for a fee) they will block withheld numbers, which could stop legit calls in some cases.
Conclusion: your telephone provider doesn't care.
---
Want to take revenge and play them at their own game? No, naughty. "PhonePayPlus" will spank you.
Conclusion: PhonePayPlus is a a corporate shill.
---
Why not take some direct action? What, the company (e.g. "My Consumer UK") isn't listed at Companies House? Yer fooked.
---
Despite all the (so-called) industry regulators, laws, civil servants etc and money being thrown around - not one of them can stop cold callers. Not a one. As a consumer you have no recourse, you just have to bite the pillow and take it.
