Have you got a link for it?

Re: I've found paperwork dumped by a bailiff!

I have ust been reading about a similar case over the road, a bailiff firm sent emails in error to a shed load of people with all the information of all the other recipients in the cc box, it was on BBC news.
Course this was leaked to a local paper and the BBC picked it up

Re: I've found paperwork dumped by a bailiff!

The ICO's investigation officers work very closely with the police (a number of them are ex-police officers). With effect from 6 April 2010, the ICO has the power to impose Financial Penalty Notices (FPNs) on offenders of up to £500,000. Having just looked on the ICO's website, I note that an NHS Trust has been fined £325,000 by the ICO for DPA breaches. If the bailiff company involved is one of the smaller ones, I suspect the fine, if one is imposed, will be in the region of £50,000 - £100,000. If it's one of the bigger ones, who knows, they may cop a fine like the NHS Trust has or hit the jackpot. Whatever happens, the bailiff company will get its backside kicked good and proper.

They said they'd keep me updated, but I've heard nothing yet.

Re: I've found paperwork dumped by a bailiff!

So is it a mater of waiting to see what, if anything appears in the press?

Or did they say they would keep you informed of any case they may bring.

How funny would that be? It'd be like something out of the Sweeny, your NICKED son!

Re: I've found paperwork dumped by a bailiff!

Sorry for my delay in updating you all (pesky real life commitments!), but I want to reassure you that the paperwork IS in the hands of the ICO and not the bailiff or the company he works for.

And I think the ICO SWAT team should exist!!

Re: I've found paperwork dumped by a bailiff!

I would have thought it won't go through the press office until they have fully investigated and then drawn a conclusion to their findings....they will likely blow their trumpet when successful.

Yes i suppose so, then the resultant findings would be in the public domain.

Which is how it should be, if you think about it the injured parties are the people whose details are on those receipts and by extrapolation the general public.

Disclosure should not be a matter for the person who reported the offense.

Only if Skally wishes to share the outcome of the case. But it's nice to know that we can influence the dynamic positively.

Hmm

Like this

Did the ICO retain the evidence.

Re: I've found paperwork dumped by a bailiff!

No that is incorrect.

I am in communication with the ICO Press Office and Enforcement Dept.
They are taking this very seriously and I am hopeful of a painful result for the bailiff's involved.

That would be excellent if it happens, i have been down this road before with the ICO, still it would be nice to be wrong.

Will we see details on here at some point?

Re: I've found paperwork dumped by a bailiff!

LOL, Yes ICO SWAT, with helicopters and M16s. That would be the day.

I think the ICO do prosecute, but not in cases like this , unless they have no option.

From reading the post it sounds like the ICO have just recommended that Skally return the items to the Bailiff.

So sadly that will be the end of that. Par for the course i suppose.

Shame
