A home improvement firm that made nuisance sales calls “aggressively pestering” people into buying products they didn’t want has been fined £40,000. Green Logic UK Ltd, based in Litchurch Plaza, Derby, made more than 11,825 calls in 2020.
The firm did not check that the personal data it used to call people was compliant with law and operated under three different names, the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) found. The company was one of four home improvement companies fined for calls that left homeowners “distressed, upset, worried and inconvenienced”, Derbyshire Live reports.
Green Logic continued to make these calls whilst the ICO’s investigation was ongoing, landing them with a £40,000 fine and an enforcement notice. The company said it operated in “good faith” and had paid a premium to buy the data from reputable ICO registered companies.
