02What happened, and where it sits

Quick Tax Claims Limited received an ICO monetary penalty on 15 October 2024. The published entry does not name the provision the Commissioner relied on. A fine. The ICO issues a monetary penalty notice setting out the contravention and the sum payable.

The penalty is £120,000. That is the 23rd largest of the 44 penalties on this register with a published figure and the 6th largest of the 13 recorded in 2024.

The notice puts numbers on the contravention: 66,793 complaints. Those figures are the ICO's, taken from the published notice for this action.

The register entry does not assign this action to a sector. In 2024 the ICO published 52 enforcement actions in total, 17 of them monetary penalties. 24 actions on the register name no statute.

Counted from the oldest entry forward, this is the 156th of 216 actions on the register. Quick Tax Claims Limited appears 2 times on this register: monetary penalty on 15 October 2024 and enforcement notice on 15 October 2024. The ICO publishes 2 documents for this action, 1.1 MB in total: "Monetary Penalty Notice - Quick Tax Claims Limited" and "Two companies fined a total of £150k after bombarding people with spam texts offering financial, debt services". They are the authority for everything on this page.

03The ICO's own account

An ICO investigation revealed that Quick Tax Claims Limited had sent 7,863,547 unlawful text messages over the course of a month, resulting in 66,793 complaints – 93% of these stating there was no ‘opt out’ option.

During the investigation, the ICO found that the company had purchased personal information from third-party suppliers that did not obtain valid consent. This led to the ICO issuing Quick Tax Claims Limited with a £120,000 fine.

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.
