Apologies if this has been posted in the wrong area.

I have never been on the electoral register and take my privacy very seriously. The website below lists information that you may be concerned about.

freeelectoralroll

It appears that it may be a rogue site after reading this

google 'freeelectoralroll.co.uk complaints' and it's on the squeaky wheel link.

Anyone else concerned about this?

    I think the OP may have misunderstood the meaning of 'Campaign Corner'...

    I think that he/she thinks it is a place to start a 'campaign' against rogue companies

    The Arms or PVW would be the obvious choice.
  • Thanks for that
    Blackpool_Saver is female, and does not live in Blackpool

  • The arms....how is that the obvious choice?

    The Arms is one of the Fora dedicated to non-moneysaving topics and general discussion.

    I'd say 'in my home' or 'families', or possibly the 'vents' part.

    For the curious, this is the "squeaky wheel link"

    http://www.thesqueakywheel.com/complaints/2014/OCT/complaint50392.cfm

    One Patricia G Thornton complains that;

    [FONT=Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica, san-serif][SIZE=-1]IF YOU ASK FOR YOUR DATA TO BE FROM THIS SITE THESE ROBBERS ASK YOU FOR EVEN MORE INDEPTH DETAILS ON YOUR PRIVATE DATA IN THE PRETENSE THAT THEY MAY CONSIDER TAKING YOUR DATA DOWN[/SIZE][/FONT]

    Actually, my complaint about the site concerned would be that it doesn't bl00dy work! I tried searching for a Patricia G Thornton and got nothing! However I tried http://www.searchelectoralroll.co.uk/Electoral_Roll_Search.asp (which I've used in the past) and found her in a jiffy.

    It didn't find me though.:) That's because I have opted out of the open register. If Patricia G Thornton had opted out of the open register then she wouldn't need to f..., fuss about trying to get her name off websites that enable you to search the open register.
  • Actually, this has nothing to do with 'opting out'. I have not been on the electoral register for years and it seems the address info on me is based on credit file data, not the electoral register.
