02What happened, and where it sits
KRA Consultancy Ltd received an ICO monetary penalty on 20 May 2026. The Commissioner acted under the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003, citing PECR regulation 22 and PECR regulation 23. 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 £300,000. That is the 10th largest of the 44 penalties on this register with a published figure and the 3rd 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: over 60,000 complaints. Those figures are the ICO's, taken from the published notice for this action.
KRA Consultancy Ltd is filed under Marketing, which accounts for 28 of the 216 actions on the register (13%). 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 209th of 216 actions on the register and the 28th of 28 in Marketing. KRA Consultancy Ltd appears 2 times on this register: monetary penalty on 20 May 2026 and enforcement notice on 20 May 2026. The ICO publishes one document for this action, 522 KB in total: "KRA Consultancy Ltd monetary penalty notice". It is the authority for everything on this page.
03The ICO's own account
KRA Consultancy Ltd was fined £300,000 for sending over 5.5 million unsolicited direct marketing and fake bailiff texts in breach of regulations 22 and 23 of PECR. The messages resulted in over 60,000 complaints to the 7726 spam reporting service.
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.
