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?

Which MSE campaign does this relate to?

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

Adamreece

None. Didn't know where else to post this.

Thats why I apologised if this was posted in the wrong area.

pogofish

The Arms or PVW would be the obvious choice.

Blackpool_Saver

Thanks for that

Adamreece

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

pogofish

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

CKhalvashi

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

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

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.

Adamreece

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.
