Hi, just wondered if you know if it's possible to get your personal details and full address removed from the below company site please :-

http://www.creditgate.com/


edited to say: details also on 192.com even though we're ex-directory. We did have a limited company so not sure if this is how, but we'd rather not have address listed on internet..

    It's unlikely you'll get personal details removed from192.com
    They usually get personal details from the electrorial register, albeit the revised one nowadays which can be used for such purposes.

    Other sources can include the telephone directory (not if you are ex-directory) or companies house. Companies House is also where creditgate get most of their business information from. i.e. it is all available from publically available information held elsewhere.

    You can only protect your personal address as a company official at Companies House in very specific circumstances.

    Thanks so much Premier. We are ex-directory but think it could have come from Companies House.
