Richard Herman, 53, was so fed up with the unwanted calls arriving from India, he decided to take matters into his own hands.
He warned the company that, in future, he would invoice them £10 for every minute of his time they used.
When the calls continued he began recording them before finally invoicing the company £195 for their use of his "time, telephone and electricity".
Upon receipt of the invoice the marketing firm acting on behalf of UK-based PPI Claimline Ltd, denied making the calls. When Mr Herman revealed he had recorded evidence, they still refused to pay.
But when Mr Herman filed a claim in the small claims court for the unpaid invoice - plus £25 in costs - the company offered to settle the debt out of court and transferred £220 into his bank account.
