I'm in the UK, and yes you can just send an email to ICO here. I contacted them about an issue with Amazon using their order update system for marketing purposes despite having opted out of marketing communicatoins, they weren't very helpful.

I have an outstanding complaint about illegal collection of biometric information and they have proved less than helpful also. The ICO doesn't really function, it never did enforce the data protection act before and so far there appears to be little change with GDPR.

Justice is not just about the law as written but also whether it can be enforced, the GDPR is not enforced in any meaningful way in the UK and companies know that.
