URGENT: Data Protection Act 1998 Breach...

Asperger's, apparently Google and other large tech companies seek out people with that attribute.

Pfft. Believe me, I wish that employers embraced people like myself, but some people that are so ignorant and uneducated, as in this case, the two societies I am plannig to take legal action against, go round calling people like me "retards". A local IT tech company located on the opposite side of the city dont want to know, and they are a pure IT business.

I honestly dont know what I did wrong to deserve the treatment I get from the world.

On the plus side, I might have a job in Pennsylvania lined up, working, ironically, in a data center... I am still working on that, but it is not looking likely at this stage.

Can't see what I'm supposed to be looking at?

R0b I have reattached it for you. I deleted all the previous ones for privacy, although I do have a copy of them here.

I am aware that the date is wrong in the letter, I will correct it when I finalise it with assistance of members here.

[R0b]

Looks sufficiently fine to me

[«THÖMÅS®©™»]

Are you sure about that? I don't want to mess this up.

[R0b]

It's a letter before action, you aren't going to be put on death row if you missed something off.

It seems detailed enough to me but as I said, your worrying about getting it pitch perfect it's taken you this long to get to this stage. As I said before, you can always add extra detail in your witness statement or if push comes to shove you can file a reply to their defence if one is submitted.

You simply need to give enough information to enable them to know the case they have to meet.

Just a thought, am i able to make the point that what they told another similar society is potentially libellous and that I have proof? If so, where would I put that?

[R0b]

Under a separate heading, but only include it if you intend on claiming for it, in which case your claim will end up in the High Court.

[«THÖMÅS®©™»]

How can I say that what they told BAS are factually incorrect without involving the High Courts?

[R0b]

You can't. Libel claims are to be issued in the High Court unless both parties agree for it to be in the County Court.

Thomas, the court it ends up in depends on the claim you make, not the LBA.

Your claim is for distress caused by a breach of DPA. Is your distress very significantly increased by the data being passed around being inaccurate? If so, then include it in the LBA. But, if your distress was only increased a little bit, for goodness sake do yourself a favour and drop the point!

to some extent, you have lost sight of why you are bringing this case, or so it seems to me. In the past, you have said that the damages are not that important to you. However, you seem now to be completely obsessed about wringing the very last penny out of the case. Which is it?

You ought to try to apply the 80:20 principle to this, as well as other aspects of your life. Otherwise, you're in danger of not getting this case off the ground. You should have a look at Sir Bob Watson's cult of the imperfect, even though it's not in your nature.

Ok. I'll complete my LBA's and post them up later once complete.

Thanks for all the help in the meantime.

p.s. what about pointing it out but also saying I won't be claiming for it?

The data that was passed around was completely false and inaccurate. Additionally, it was passed to another society which banned me for it.

My question now is this...

Can LBA's be sent via emails (because one of the societies addresses does not exist, or should I say "unreliable", thier words not mine, although I do have the home address of the chairman, which he seems to have changed recently.

I'd send the LBA by email. In the same email, I would ask them whether they require a hard copy, and, if so, where they want it sent.

You'll need a postal address to issue proceedings to. So, you may as well ask them to confirm the address they want used for that purpose.

If you are not claiming for it, don't clutter up your LBA with unnecessary detail.

Don't forget that the man who invented radar said: “Give them the third-best to go on with; the second-best comes too late, and the best never comes.”
