Company Credit Report Update: Telephone Preference Service

Our company credit reports now include a field dedicated to the Telephone Preference Service.

What’s the Telephone Preference Service?

In their own words: ‘The Telephone Preference Service (TPS) is a free service. It is the official central opt out register on which you can record your preference not to receive unsolicited sales or marketing calls. It is a legal requirement that all organisations (including charities, voluntary organisations and political parties) do not make such calls to numbers registered on the TPS unless they have your consent to do so.’

Where and how is this information shown in the company credit report?

This appears on the ‘Base Info’ page (the first page) under the new ‘Telephone Preference Service’ field.

If a company is registered the following will show:

Registered with the Telephone Preference Service

If a company is not registered, this will show:

Not registered with the Telephone Preference Service

If you have any questions about this or anything else Company Search related, leave a comment and we’ll be in touch.
