The companies responsible for inundating British homes with nuisance calls can be named.
A string of firms, including major household names, are making millions of unsolicited calls to landlines each year in the hope of gaining business. Some of the calls are silent, causing irritation, fear and confusion, particularly for the elderly and vulnerable. Until now the scale of the problem, and the companies behind it, have been unclear.
