02What happened, and where it sits
Money Bubble Ltd EN received an ICO enforcement notice on 12 December 2024. The Commissioner acted under the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003. An order to act. An enforcement notice requires the organisation to take, or stop taking, specified steps by a deadline, and failure to comply is itself an offence. PECR is a separate instrument from the UK GDPR, so this is an ICO penalty under the marketing rules and not a GDPR fine.
No sum is attached to this action. Enforcement notices are corrective, not financial, which is why Money Bubble Ltd EN appears on the register without a figure beside it.
Money Bubble Ltd EN is filed under General business, which accounts for 20 of the 216 actions on the register (9%). In 2024 the ICO published 52 enforcement actions in total, 17 of them enforcement notices. 87 actions on the register name PECR 2003.
Counted from the oldest entry forward, this is the 163rd of 216 actions on the register and the 9th of 20 in General business. The ICO published 4 actions on 12 December 2024, so this one was part of a batch: Breathe Services Ltd (monetary penalty), Breathe Services Ltd (enforcement notice) and Money Bubble Ltd MPN (monetary penalty). The ICO publishes 2 documents for this action, 413 KB in total: "Money Bubble Ltd enforcement notice" and "Rogue companies receive fines totalling £290k for making millions of nuisance calls". They are the authority for everything on this page.
03The ICO's own account
It was found that between October – November 2022, the company made 168,852 spam calls resulting in several further complaints being made to the ICO and TPS. MBL did not provide evidence that anyone whose number had been called had consented to receiving calls from the company. The ICO has issued a £120,000 fine.
The law behind this action
PECR 2003
PECR governs electronic marketing, cookies and communications-service security. It is a separate instrument from the UK GDPR: an action taken under PECR is not a GDPR fine, and the register pages here never describe it as one.
What a enforcement notice does
An order to act. An enforcement notice requires the organisation to take, or stop taking, specified steps by a deadline, and failure to comply is itself an offence.

GDPRFine.com is an independent tracker of ICO enforcement. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to the Information Commissioner's Office, and it uses no ICO branding. Where the ICO's own wording is reproduced it is quoted and attributed; everything else on these pages is our own summary of the published record.
The ICO's register held 222 entries on that date. 6 of them are prosecutions of named individuals, with ages and home towns in the ICO's own summary. This tracker indexes organisations, so those 6 are excluded and every count on these pages is out of 216. They remain on the ICO's own register.
An entry says what the Commissioner did on the date shown. It is not a statement about the organisation today, and the ICO can amend or remove a register entry at any time. Amounts and provisions are as published by the ICO; where the published notice does not state a figure or name a provision, these pages say so rather than filling the gap.
