    i thought as much. nevermind it was only an idea anyway. Its just a shame as people like us dont really have a voice on the issue as we dont have money to challenge this.

    I wonder if a news paper would be willing to pick it up then and run with it as alot of people have become bankrupt due to the banks and it seems like a hot subject at the moment. Just a thought?

    The danger here is that overt publicity will probably make more people aware, therefore more people will seek out the very information we as BR's seek to keep private.

    I never was overly concerned about the LG......relatively few people out there actually know of its existence.

    What is of concern to me is the information freely [?] available via the Insolvency website...particularly, precise details of my occupation!
    No, I don't think all other drivers are idiots......but some are determined to change my mind.......

    I have to say that i think its fair enough that its on the insolvency website as most people will be off there within 15 months. But the LG effects people in the future as we know from what people have mentioned on here that the mortgage companies go looking on there see if there applicant has that history but i guess even that does not really matter as im sure the mortgage application must ask if you have ever been BR although i bet a financial advisor would know there way around that.
