Response to Credit Reference Agency Search

There are some grey areas here and I think that it will do you no harm at all to ask the DPC for an Assessment of your case. I think that it would be useful to give the details of circumstances under which you were persuaded to offer a settlement figure. Did the company concerned dupe you in some way into giving income information? Were you under the impression that you were required to do so? Obtaining your personal data ('processing' it) may be unlawful in these kinds of circumstances. If the Data Protection Commissioner (DPC) takes an interest, it may well (a) help keep your case out of court, and (b) help others. If you need addresses etc please email me privately.
