A company responsible for bombarding people with millions of nuisance calls has been fined £850,000 by the Claims Management Regulator (CMR). The National Advice Clinic, based in Lancashire, which also trades as the Industrial Hearing Clinic or the Central Compensation Office, made nearly six million calls between October 2014 and April 2015 about noise induced hearing loss claims. Many of those called were registered with the Telephone Preference Service (TPS), and almost 2,000 complaints were received by Ofcom.
