Breach of Data Protection-DWP
Comments
-
Back in 2005, the Job Centre actually sent out a whole load of documents (can't remember what they were - whatever they send you when you make a claim for JSA), containing my name, NI number, d.o.b. etc to a completely random address that I'd never even lived at. Now THAT's a massive breach of data protection.
That was before everybody was so paranoid that there was somebody lurking in the shadows 24/7, waiting to intercept every personal bit of information to clone their identity, so I didn't bother making a complaint. Wish I had done now, I could have probably got a fair bit of compo out of it.A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Started 15/03/2011.

A single member of the 60 million population rings brenda at the dwp, and brenda can give them the details from just a name!
She might not be too hot on DPA but her memory skills are bloody incredible.
Perhaps people should take a step back and think about how credible this tale is?
well spotted.You can't beat an egg.........................NO WAIT!0
