Ive just googled my own name and my br entry in the London Scumbag Gazette comes up - my name and addresses are there directly visible in the results list. I know of course that my br is recorded and searchable on their website, but I didnt expect it to be so openly visible on bloody google!!!!
So anyone who googles my name will see it - Im REALLY REALLY ANNOYED with that scummy paper - they should NOT be allowed to do this!! And of course it will be there for ever!!! :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:
Just in case any one didnt know - as I didnt!!:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

I need to learn some serious hacking techniques NOW!! Im really shocked by it - its like they want to publically shame people. The Insolvency Site doesnt do this - you have to do an actual search by name on their site.
This really needs sorting out - it shouldnt be public information once some is discharged.:j Goodbye debt - Hello sanity! :j0 -
I tried it just with my friends name, but he didnt show up, another company did, so i added gazette to the search and the company appeared in the gazette instead.Although no trees were harmed during the creation of this post, a large number of electrons were greatly inconvenienced.
There are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies0 -
I know its awful, i was quite dissapointed when i found out, i was told to put my name on lots of sites in the hope it would move down the list.. but im not sure i want that either!0

OMG, mine haven't come up thank god. Is it hit and miss whether it is listed on google or is there some criteria?0

mine comes up, but a few pages down. i think it is seriously dodgy with addresses and everything. our personal info could be used for anything. what about the data protection act surely?0
