209 rogue claims firms shut down by Ministry of Justice
More than 200 rogue claims management companies were shut down in six months as part of a crackdown, according to the Ministry of Justice.
The Claims Management Regulation Unit shut down 209 such firms between April and November this year, it said.
Three more rogue firms were suspended and a further 140 were warned.
The unit is also working with the UK's data watchdog to tackle firms who break the law with unsolicited calls and texts, it said.
