02What happened, and where it sits
Elderly Aids Limited received an ICO monetary penalty on 6 August 2026. The Commissioner acted under the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003, citing PECR regulation 21 and PECR regulation 24. A fine. The ICO issues a monetary penalty notice setting out the contravention and the sum payable. PECR is a separate instrument from the UK GDPR, so this is an ICO penalty under the marketing rules and not a GDPR fine.
The penalty is £190,000. That is the 17th largest of the 44 penalties on this register with a published figure and the 6th largest of the 8 recorded in 2026. PECR penalties are capped at £500,000, so the figure sits against that ceiling rather than the UK GDPR maximum.
The notice puts numbers on the contravention: 758,053 marketing calls or messages and 20 complaints. Those figures are the ICO's, taken from the published notice for this action.
Elderly Aids Limited is filed under General business, which accounts for 20 of the 216 actions on the register (9%). In 2026 the ICO published 21 enforcement actions in total, 10 of them monetary penalties. 87 actions on the register name PECR 2003.
Counted from the oldest entry forward, this is the 214th of 216 actions on the register and the 19th of 20 in General business. Elderly Aids Limited appears 2 times on this register: monetary penalty on 6 August 2026 and enforcement notice on 6 August 2026. The ICO publishes 2 documents for this action, 502 KB in total: "Elderly Aids Limited monetary penalty notice" and "ICO hits company selling call blockers with £190k fine for nuisance calls". They are the authority for everything on this page.
03The ICO's own account
Contravention of Regulations 21 and 24. Elderly Aids Limited promoted call blocking devices. Elderly Aids Limited made 758,053 unsolicited direct marketing calls to subscribers who were registered with the TPS / CTPS and who had not notified EAL that they were willing to receive such calls, and 20 complaints being made as a result.
The law behind this action
PECR 2003

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.
