      Most, if not all information on a CV is about the individual not the company. Thus is covered by the DPA

        But it's not a 'CV'. It's a 'brochure'.

          What if he is an individual within a company?

              If they don't respond to emails, then I'm sure that since they publish their phone numbers they won't mind a call Ring them up and tell them that you're Detective Inspector Smith, following up a complaint about possible fraud - I bet they'll speak to you sharpish after that!

                Didn't realise that - of course you could change your name to "Chief Inspector" but that perhaps takes it a bit far. Although someone did change their name to "Yorkshire Bank are Complete B@stards" I think, to get their point across.

                  No, I was chucked off the contract because I refused to put made up quotes in a global magazine article I was writing and I told the client to stuff themselves because I had arranged to do an additional day's work for another client during the interview but found no provision had been made in place for me to follow it through once the contract started. Luckily I didn't lose my regular client because he sourced someone else in time. No thanks to tulip Hungarian bitch who Abraxas sourced me for. I'm not in the habit of messing my regular clients around, certainly not ones I've worked to for over 6 years.

                  Still, at least I ended up screwing Abraxas good and proper and that's probably why they decided to give me a first anniversary present yesterday. It was about a year ago I was sourced for that role.

                    Sorry to sound cruel Denny, but my reading of this is that Abraxas were told by the client who asked you "to engage in unethical behaviour" put your dismissal quite differently (rightly or wrongly) and the agency came away thinking that you are a bit of a knob. Given this the agency decided to take flight from you.

                    Given your obsession with calling things as you think they should be called (EB instead of agency or Brochure instead of CV) and your determination to go to the wire on some of the most trivial issues would suggest that you are a bit of nightmare to employ.
                    If you mean I don't roll over and die when someone wants to tulip on my head, then I couldn't agree with you more.

                    Pity more of you don't follow my lead.

                      I was engaged as an individual at the time, not a company. A freelance individual (not brolly PAYE as they thought). Just shows what a bunch of muppets they are.
