Hi to you all. We set up an advertising campaign, wherby we wre paying per lead provided to us, we have had quite a few now where we received a lead but it had the following information for first name and surname;

Either no first name at all just a letter

No first name at all just a surname

An initial for a first and last name

Full first name but an initial for the second name



I am stating again that these leads cant be paid for as they are illegal and no person or company can call them as under DPA/FSA and the money laundering laws they would be open to prosecution as will have broken the rules. I am struggling to get the actual information re due dilligence and also proof of identity information that needs to be in place to be checked when calling a client being called and am stuck as I cant find a definitive listing of what should be on a lead before it can be called can anyone help me?

Leads normally would be passed to a master broker, but cant be as not enough information to call the client, but the company supplying us are stating we still need to pay, can anyone assist us?

Thanks

Unless you paid them in advance, simply don't pay them. Posession is 9/10ths of the law - they have clearly failed to deliver what was promised.

I would also suggest moving your business elsewhere and fast.
