Home2Sense director disqualified after unpaid ICO penalty

What was published

The Insolvency Service announced an eight-year director disqualification following the company's failure to pay a £200,000 Information Commissioner's Office fine. The ICO penalty concerned 675,478 unsolicited marketing calls to numbers registered with the Telephone Preference Service.

What this means for other cases

This outcome highlights the importance of documenting regulatory enforcement, how directors responded to compliance concerns and decisions affecting creditors. It does not mean that every unpaid regulatory fine automatically results in director disqualification; the specific findings and conduct matter.

What to preserve if you face a similar issue

Keep the original notice or decision, proof of receipt, current deadlines, relevant licences, correspondence and contemporaneous source records. The exact evidence needed depends on the allegation and regulatory procedure. Do not assume another case has the same facts or outcome.
