Nuisance calls and text messages – lower threshold, higher risk to UK companies
Changes in the law on unsolicited marketing communications came into effect on 6 April 2015 and should make it increasingly difficult for unscrupulous companies who bombard people with nuisance calls and text messages to flout the law.
