Be better if the fine was big enough to compensate all their victims since the point when action SHOULD have been taken (in 2013). £75k is paltry. And they get a £15k discount if they pay quickly.

Cold Call Elimination has been warned it is on the regulator's radar amid allegations that staff gave the impression they were calling from BT to offer a Government-backed scheme.

The firm offers services priced between £34.99 and £129.99 that include fitting a 'call-blocker' device to landlines to stopping unwanted calls from UK and foreign numbers.

However, anyone can register for free with the TPS. Firms making calls without prior consent to people signed up to the TPS are breaking the law.
