So back in June I was being spammed by a company called Motorholme. I was stupid enough to get a quote for motorhome hire from them and after that I couldn't get them out of my mailbox despite repeated and increasingly explicit requests for them to stop doing to. I even quoted the relevant legislation at them.
They ignored my emails and continued to mail me.
So I raised a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office. This was on 22nd June. Today, almost seven weeks later, I got an email from them which began:
Thank you for your correspondence dated 22 June regarding unsolicited emails from Motorholme. Please accept my apologies for the delay in acknowledging; our office is currently dealing with large volumes of work. This has meant that we have been unable to deal with incoming correspondence as promptly as we would like.
The matters you have raised will be assigned to one of our casework teams before being allocated to a case officer who will respond in line with our current service standards.
Impressive huh? Seven weeks to even get an acknowledgement, that's before they actually start processing the complaint. Is it any wonder we're all drowning in spam.

I had yet more spam from Motorholme today but this time a change. The email ends: P.P.S To no longer receive emails from MotorHolme, visit the following link www.motorholme.co.uk/delete.asp So I've done that. It claims, rather comedically "I hate spam as much as you do". Yeah, right. Anyway I filled in the form. |
