What happened
Between 9 January 2023 to 9 October 2023, there were 194,110 unsolicited direct marketing calls made to subscribers who were registered with the TPS and who had not notified Darian Bishop that they were willing to receive such calls. This resulted in 21 complaints which were submitted to the Commissioner and the TPS.
Mr Bishop first came to the attention of the Commissioner in connection with the Commissioner's wider enquiries relating to an increase in complaints concerning the energy and home improvements sector.
