A formal notification was then issued to TalkTalk, giving the ISP until 14th November 2011 to make representations. TalkTalk confirmed the activity and promptly scrapped its relationship with the two " sales agencies ". A spokesperson for the ISP said that " Talktalk no longer works with these sales agencies and, if Ofcom imposes a financial penalty, we will recover this sum from the third party responsible ." Nothing further was heard from Ofcom until June 2012 when the regulator confirmed that it was continuing to investigate the matter.
