But they seldom are. Reporting companies to the TPS is like reporting them
to /dev/null. Unfortunately, the legislation doesn't provide for
compensation to the callee, which might change things.

I once sued Everest double glazing over repeated marketing calls to a
TPS-registered number.

When we moved house in 2007, we had a new telephone number. We made it
ex-directory: no marketing calls at all. Or many others, come to that.
