Cold Callers Fined £250,000

News today that a Claims Management Company has been fined £250,000 for making calls asking people if they had suffered hearing loss at work and encouraging them to make a claim. The number of calls made was a staggering 17.5 million, of which more than 6.3 million were connected, at which point the recipient heard a recorded message. The fact that they used an automated telephone system to fish for "industrial deafness" claims shows that perhaps this particular claims management company was not the best placed to understand the needs of their potential clients.

If you have suffered hearing loss, or any other sort of work related injury, there are many solicitors firms who will provide an excellent service without needing to involve a claims management company at all.

Solicitors are fully regulated in what they do and, unlike Claims Management Companies, you have a statutory right of redress on those rare occasions that your solicitor charges too much.
