TPS takes 28 days to kick in. Otherwise unless you opted in to some thing its offshore or non complianceBit harsh. I think you're slightly biased as you work in the industry, a lot of us DO find it really annoying. I once bought car insurance from the AA and they took that as carte blanche to pester me morning, afternoon and evening. I'm registered with TPS (who are brilliant at stopping reputable British companies), but as I was an AA customer their protection didn't apply. I told them all I didn't want to be contacted, but each branch was a different service and all said it 'took time' for my preferences to be recorded on the system.
However you are right, getting nuisance calls really isn't the end of the world. I solved all my problems by switching insurers and by not answering any calls (either on my mobile or landline) where I don't recognise the number. Can't remember now the last time I answered a nuisance call.
