# Nuisance calls result in a complaint every five minutes

![](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/BBC-Data-Unit/nuisance-calls/master/Concerns%20about%20cold%20calls.png)

A complaint about nuisance callers is lodged with the UK's data watchdog every five minutes - and [eight of the 20 most prolific calls came from the same company, which is not UK registered](http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-37950287), we found in January 2017.
