Hardly one mistake, though is it? They have an insecure system, you don't know how many of your profiles are out there and how accurate they are. If you managed to get a response from them, well done. I haven't managed that in 4 years. If you have a name & email address, please share it.

Weell it was an agency that uploaded my CV. And I alledgedly did create it - although 3 years ago so I can't remember. And they were very helful to me - maybe I was lucky?

Every email I've ever sent to this address has been ignored. I might try that number later, and quote the DPA.

[Miss Ellie]

Don't bother with the email they will ignore it because it doesn't contain any legal standing as they can claim they haven't received it.

Just write a letter to the Data Registrar of THESKILLSMARKET send it by recorded delivery or fax, and state on it that under the provisions of the Data Protection Act 1998 they are to stop processing your personal data and if they don't do so with in 21 days you will take further action against them.

Address:
Data Registrar
THESKILLSMARKET LIMITED
35 BRITANNIA ROW
LONDON
N1 8QH

Registration Number: Z7573590


1. If you then find an agency uploads your data to THESKILLSMARKET anytime after 21 days, and:
a. They send you an email about your profile
b. You find the data and it's incorrect
OR
2. you can still find your incorrect profile 21 days after you sent them the letter,

go straight to the information commissioner website and get THESKILLSMARKET investigated for breach of the DPA. http://www.ico.gov.uk/complaints/data_protection.aspx you will need to send the proof that you sent a letter (not email) requesting that THESKILLSMARKET shouldn't use your data anymore and there is no way they couldn't have received it. Plus other evidence of the breach i.e. print out of email, screenshots.

Once the Information Commissioner rules against THESKILLSMARKET you can take them to court for "distress and injury to feelings" plus money for the damage it has caused to your employment prospects due to the data being incorrect.

Most cases don't go that far - as soon as companies realise you are seriously going to get the Information Commissioner involved which could cause an (expensive) investigation into their practices and you could also sue them, they play ball.

Most investigations of the DPA are paper investigations but if lots of people start complaining about a company, or the breach is a serious breach i.e. the company hasn't registered to use the data in that way, the Information Commissioner does do a proper investigation.

This is the register of Data Registrars for further use against other companies:
