    No, we are a data company so we make a living from providing data services that our customers find helpful. That includes consumers of course. What we're proposing is a new service to help tenants and landlords, which I'm pleased to say is being widely welcomed.

    If you change your electoral roll entry to Micky Mouse will you then use this name when you next apply for a credit card? I would think very carefully about doing something like that.

    I don't have or want a credit card. It is far better to save up for what you want than encourage borrowing. Our mortgage was paid of donkeys years ago. I don't want.a mobile phone contract or catalogue book and I am quite happy on prepayment key meter electric.

    Our current account has no overdraft and is not reported to any of your systems but rest assured if it ever is we will be closing it.

    When I last checked there were three settled accounts on your records and like I say I no longer give your company permission to hold or process any information about me so how do I get you to delete these records and remove me from your systems?

    It doesn't quite work like that. The data sharing agreement was part of your contract with the lenders in question. You cannot restrospectively rescind this.

  • Well in less than 2 years the entries will be dropping off anyway and between now and then as I don't require credit or the services of your company inflicted on me I will fill your database with rubbish by changing the names on our electoral form.
