Help needed re 192.com

[BensGrandad]

I have just read192.com and it shows the age and occupants etc of any address in the country.

I belive that this an infringement of liberty and against the Data Protection Act of 1998 and more especially in the case of an elderly person it gives the information of who lives in the house ages and telephone numbers. So in the case of an elderly lady ;lving alone it ios an open invitation for crooks etc.

What can I do to get a persons details taken off of this register, if indeed I can.

I didnt know the answer but wife suggested asking on NSC as somebody will come up with a sensible answer.

Never heard of that before.

The fact is though BensGrandad, they are only publishing electoral roll info. You can get yourself taken off their records, but the same info will still be publicly available in any library and in many online resources such as Tracesmart.

I think that they are publishing a lot more info than is available on electoral rolls eg value of property , bank accounts held etc.

how would they show bank details unless the bank published that info? Property value is probably also public info, based on estimates from the land registry records of neighbouring sales.

so on the one hand, its all public info, what can you do about it? on the other... it does make it rather easy to collect an awful lot of info on someone, rather than going to a half dozen sources, they are all in one place and nicely cross referenced.
