It's not always unlawful.

Also, TPS registration does not work if you have previously given a firm permission to market to you by phone.
You may have done this without even realising. For example, some forms include a tick box which allows you to opt-in, or in some cases opt-out, of direct marketing by that organisation.
By opting-in (or not opting-out) you may inadvertently have agreed to receive sales and marketing calls, even though your number is registered with the TPS.
