how to confuse someone !!!

hello all :D

i sent of a sar request 2 weeks ago to black horse and recieved a big wad of information today:confused:
After an hour studying it a couple of documents really didnt add up its a calculation of interest due and a date for it to be refunded, and then i realised the gorps at BH sent me details of someone elses claim to be refunded, how bad is that!!!
I have rang them and they seemed a bit sheepish and have asked me to return the documents with my claim form ha ha

    Hi shooby1

    That’s appalling how can a company be so negligent? :eek:

    Great news :j :j for you though, use it to your advantage. Imagine if this information was leaked to the media, the adverse publicity would be disastrous for Black Horse and the financial implications if the FOS were to fine them for breach of the Data Protection Act.

    Here are contact details for Director of Compliance & Operational Risk. Send him an email, I’m sure your get a speedy response. Ha ha.
    Paul Phillips Head of Compliance & Operational Risk Tel: 029 2138 6354
    [EMAIL="Paul.Phillips@ltsbasset.co.uk"]Paul.Phillips@ltsbasset.co.uk[/EMAIL] :eek: :eek:

    Good luck to you.

    OP Please follow the advice quoted above. You must let the ICO know. This is a serious breach of data protection requirements.

    If you felt like being naughty, contact the person the information relates to and let them know about it as well.
    Please ignore those people who post on this forum who deliberately try to misinform you. Don't be bullied by them, don't be blamed by them. You know who I mean.
    You come here for advice, help and support- thats what I and like minded others will try to do.
