This is a question Inflated Self-Importance

Amorous Badger asks: Tell us tales of people who have a high opinion of themselves. Jumped-up officials, the mad old bloke who runs the Neighbourhood Watch like it's a military operation, Colonel Blimps, pompous bastards and people stuck up their own arse.

PPI reclaim companies appear to ignore TPS
I find that answering with "Hello, Trading Standards" puts a stop to unwanted calls very quickly.

there are many ways around the TPS
Even if you report a companying for ignoring it they'll do fuck all

I've only seen one occasion where the TPS fined a company for this, and they were making 25,000+ unsolicited calls per day

Usual way to bypass call preference is to claim they are not selling but are actually conducting a survey, if you say yes to doing the survey, this is taken as an implicit consent to having your details sold to the companies that they ask your opinion about.
I fell for this once and its taken several months to get these wankers to take my phone number off the lists they constantly sell to each other, I still get PPI calls and calls from India attempting to sell me financial services which I assume is a euphemism for PPI claimback.
Allegedly, this implicit consent loophole was supposed to be have been tightened up.
