    Maybe your right Judge, and I know I can be a bit of a drama queen, but what if someone gets these details and thinks it is my husband when it's not?! Also - why am I not showing? Am I really dead? :D

    It didn't find anything about me that you can't find with Google. I do like where it says "***** ***** is an expert in the field of.... " those links point to articles I have written that are published on various websites but it makes me look dead clever ;)

    I searched my sister and didn't find anything about her so it isn't that good :(

  • Found myself (well, on that site, anyway... still searching in reality!), but age range was wrong and info obviously taken from a very old (at least 7 years) electoral roll since my son was in the same entry and this was the last time we were at the same address. No sign of my ex though (tee hee)!
  • That is bloody scary!!

    I crossed the box on the Council tax register!:confused:

    Yes, I crossed that box too. I can understand them being able to get phone details as we're in the phone book but surely they shouldn't be able to get this information if you've asked for it not to be sold on.

    I think a complaint to the council is necessary in this instance. How dare they make money from our details when we ask them specifically not to!:mad:

  • For anyone interested, you can ask 192.com to remove your details from their service.

    Download this form, and either post or fax it to them. Then they will take your details off. I'm pretty sure they have to do this by law, due to the Data Protection Act.
