Platinum Credit has been ordered to pay Ksh. 400,000 to a Kenyan for sending him loan promos,text messages and calls,using data he NEVER gave them and without his consent.
Samuel Kamau complained to the ODPC that Platinum Credit repeatedly sent him unsolicited marketing calls and messages using his personal data without consent.
During the investigation, the company falsely claimed the caller wasn’t their agent, but the ODPC confirmed she was. The Commissioner found Platinum Credit liable for unlawful data processing, ordered them to pay KES 400,000 in compensation, issued an enforcement notice, and recommended prosecution of its directors for providing false information.
