So yet another complaint to be fired off to the Information Commissioner this weekend.

My current count of complaints to the IC runs at

1 win against Sky
1 in progress against Lloyds (definate win though IMO)
1 now pending against Payscum

I've emailed payscum and there spamming company for an explanation. Always useful when they don't reply as it compounds the case against them (or in the Lloyds case when they did reply they admitted they were sending advertising)

Very interesting - how long does it take the IC to respond ?

Maybe it had something to do with this:

We would like to announce important developments affecting all PayPal accounts in the European Union (the "EU").

No action is required on your part, and you will be able to continue using PayPal with no changes.

Currently, PayPal (Europe) Ltd. is the service provider for PayPal in the EU. PayPal (Europe) Ltd. is a UK company regulated and authorised by the Financial Services Authority (FSA) in the UK as an electronic money institution. This authorisation enables PayPal to provide its service throughout the EU.

From 2 July 2007, a new PayPal company, PayPal (Europe) S.à r.l. & Cie, S.C.A. (PayPal Luxembourg), will become the service provider for PayPal in the EU. This is a Luxembourg entity regulated as a bank by the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (CSSF), the Luxembourg equivalent of the FSA. PayPal Luxembourg will provide the PayPal service throughout the EU.
