Cold caller firm pays out for wasting businessman's time
« on: October 27, 2012, 03:08:50 PM »
I'm loving this...  :))

"Richard Herman, 53, was so upset with firms phoning him up and trying to sell him goods and services he decided to charge them for the time they took out of his day.

He recorded the calls and then sent an invoice charging £10 for every minute he spent on the phone.

When they refused to pay up he sued them at the small claims court and won."

Apparently it could lead to thousands of other people pursuing similar claims.

How long before firms ring up on spec, offering to help us sue the pants off firms who do cold-calling?
