Data protection advise?

hi

i need some advise, my mobile phone company has passed my details onto a company working on their behalf to conduct some maket research on their behalf.
i hae alsready asked my mobile phone company to remove me from any of their markting databases and have also registered my number with TPS.

I am still receiving calls from third parties wanting to carry out market research for my mobile phone company.

When asked where these companies have got my number from i hve been told my mobile phone company is providing it to them.

I now know this to be a fact as my mobilephone company has said they have given my phone number to this market research companies to carry out some market researh for them.

Can i sue ?
is this breach of the data protection act?
what can i do?

Thanks for your help

Research is not selling and as it is your own mobile phone company that has commissioned the research I do not think they have done anything wrong. They will argue that the data is being used for the purposes of running their own business.

id pay a visit to your local citizens advice office. they offer the best free advice you can get.

Does your contract with these lowlifes say that they can share your info with others ?
If not....sue them. What crappy company did this to you ?
