    Debt recovery director prosecuted - 17/04/2009


    The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) has fined the director of a debt recovery firm more than £6,000 for bombarding individuals and businesses with unwanted faxes.

    The prosecution was successfully launched against Robert Logan, director of Preston-based Clear Debt Solutions (CDS), after more than 500 complaints from individuals and businesses flooded into the ICO and the Fax Preference Service (FPS).

    Logan pleaded guilty to 13 offences relating to breaches of the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations. He has been fined £400 per charge plus costs and must now pay a total of £6,274.53.

    In September 2007 the ICO issued CDS with an enforcement notice ordering the company to stop sending unwanted faxes to individuals and companies who were registered with the FPS, a list of telephone numbers where the subscribers have registered an objection to receiving unsolicited faxes, or who had not given consent to receiving such faxes.

    Despite the enforcement notice, and Logan being questioned under caution, the ICO and the FPS continued to receive complaints about unsolicited faxes, receiving a further 822 since October 2007.

    Mick Gorrill, assistant commissioner at the ICO, said: "Unsolicited marketing faxes can be just as irritating and intrusive as unwanted marketing phone calls.

    "This practice is unacceptable and our action against Mr Logan sends out a strong signal to any unscrupulous businesses that flout the rules – we will prosecute for systemic non-compliance with the Data Protection Act."

    I think I will direct my complaint with Centro Client Reveiw .....to this Mick Gorrill, assistant commissioner at the ICO, as he said: "Unsolicited marketing faxes can be just as irritating and intrusive as unwanted marketing phone calls abd I had an unwanted marketing call - which was very intimidating as well.

        There is a Fax preference service. When I worked in one of the branches we kept getting crap and the usual SPAM faxes. After registering it was sorted out.

            We are also registered on TPS and FPS and we also get loads of faxes from this shower and others too. I've lost count of the amount of them we get, Kingsbridge is a regular offender, and god knows how many coffee machines, water machines, car leasing companies as well.

              No idea if this is interesting or not but Eurodebt have (nov 2008) registered as Clear Debt Solutions (UK) Ltd and applied for a consumer credit licence.
