    Sorry if I missed a thread about this, but has anyone considered claiming compensation for the April cyber attack data breach? 
    We have had confirmation that this has happened and my name, address, email, telephone number and date of birth were 'accessed and copied'. 
    There are similar claims ongoing for M&S and the Coop supermarkets.

    Thanks

    How have you suffered? Financial harm might get you recompense but psychological harm is nonsense.

    Odd - Spectos sent me a letter today with my October incentive stamps.  I went on pause at the end of September.  Something is amiss but I'm up on the deal so not really complaining.  Time to find someone to buy my excess 1st Large booklets again.
    I too received October stamps today but was paused at the end of September.
    Looking at the app...   the last two brown envelopes I sent back were tracked in on 1st October for 10 points each so maybe that was treated as "active in October"
    I need to think of something new here...

    I wondered if it was because of the following statement, copied from my 'resting' email:

    ///Even though you are going to start your rest period soon, you will still receive some final test items to process over the next three to four weeks. If you could please process these as normal and report the date you sent or received each item, that would be greatly appreciated. You will continue to earn reward points for these final test items.///

    OMG - I just started up again four years after having moved!  I had to reapply to the panel & have not done a single stint since moving here...

    This does not bode well, I am a person of limited patience 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 & inaccuracies do my head in.  I have a feeling this may be my only stint if I can last it out!

    It will drive you mad. Think you have enough on your plate ATM to deal with it.
