"Watchdogs blast Culture Minister Ed Vaizey for staying silent on nuisance calls"
"Which?" is a consumer advocate organization in the U.K.
They are trying to get action on this persistent problem...
Steve Hawkes writes about it in the U.K. Daily Telegraph:
"Which? also wants tougher enforcement action to be taken agaionst companies which call people who should be spared after registering with the Telephone Preference Service. Last month Which? said so many homes were suffering from cold calls and unwanted texts that nearly six in ten people - 58 per cent - no longer want to answer their home phone. Industry experts claim new EU rules could spark a trebling in the amount of calls people receive by slashing costs for 'spammers'."
