Moorcroft and public breach of DPAct.

[victoria_siempre]

Hi guys

 

Moorcroft appear not to know how to post a letter; might be useful?

Says it all really....

[Jonny_J]

Wow.

 

Someone obviously made a deliberate decision to address the envelope to this chap. And then Moorcroft have the bare faced front to say that they haven't broken any data protection regs?

 

Their incompetence is astounding. Simply unbelievable!

[BankFodder]

Thanks

[dx100uk]

and thanks for putting the swearword in the title too..

 

all around twitter now.

[victoria_siempre]

Sorry dx

 

I had not realised it was a swear word having drawn my inspiration from:

 

Cock Up Your Beaver

 

by Robert Burns

I.

 

When first my brave Johnnie lad

Came to this town,

He had a blue bonnet

That wanted the crown;

But now he has gotten

A hat and a feather, -

Hey, brave Johnnie lad,

Cock up your beaver!

II.

 

Cock up your beaver,

And cock it fu' sprush,

We'll over the border

and gie them a brush;

There's somebody there

We'll teach better behaviour -

Hey, brave Johnnie lad,

Cock up your beaver!

Good morning vic

 

I bet nothing happens to either Moorcroft or the so called "Agent"

 

It also seems that your take on the term is well founded . . http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=2&ved=0CCsQFjAB&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.phrases.org.uk%2Fmeanings%2Fcock-up.html&ei=5zjWTfS2KsuLhQfP3_TOBg&usg=AFQjCNGIbV9sGgDXhQXqE5URw2rcqtJv_g

Good morning Rev

 

I was possibly being a bit tongue in cheek to save dx's blushes; colleagues in Yorkshire assert that it is a contraction of 'cock up the arse' as an error rather than intent; however, I felt cock up the beaver to be more palatable.

“I called Moorcroft to tell them I have the letters and that I have contacted Data Protection over this to complain, but they claim the incident doesn’t break any data protection laws.

A compliance officer for Moorcroft Debt Recovery said the mailing mistake was an “isolated” incident for the firm and the matter was now being investigated.

 

Paula Huddart, of Moorcroft, said: “This is not something we have ever come across before but we will look at this extremely urgently to find out what has gone wrong, and the matter has now been passed on for investigation.

 

“We do believe this is an isolated case and any identity concerns will be addressed.”

Get your chequebook ready Ms Huddart.

Hi R

 

On a completely unconnected point, it's nice to see that the Shred's super-injun has been modified following yesterday's privileged statement in Parliament and one can now see it was about a relationship with a senior colleague and nothing to do with billions of £s; silly old me was following the money, although I did feel screwed by NastyWest at times.

 

I'm sure you get my drift Rev?

The letter inside wasnt addressed to him? Why did he open it? Isnt it against the law for him to open envelopes that arent addressed to him.... funny how the company are the ones who are going to get into trouble when hes the one who opened it and never 'returned to sender' like he should have!

[victoria_siempre]

Hi Craig, very well said and

 

for the avoidance of doubt,

 

The story goes;

 

"

Carl Majrowski, of Shakespeare Street, Stoke, received an envelope with his name and address printed on the front.

But inside he found another envelope – stuffed full of letters with the addresses, phone numbers, bank details and dates of birth of Coventry residents who owe money.

Hi Cb

 

This is a quote from the Postal Services Act 2000 . . "A person commits an offence if, intending to act to a person’s detriment and without reasonable excuse, he opens a postal packet which he knows or reasonably suspects has been incorrectly delivered to him."

 

Part of my job is to deal with items of Post that Royal Mail cannot sort for the Companies in my Building

 

I often have to open the envelope etc in order to get either more details as to which companie it goes to OR to obtain a return address, as my actions are not detrimental in any way I'm not doing anything wrong

[brokebutnotbeatn]

Wrong. The letter was addressed to him. The contents of the letter addressed to him were in an open envelope (container) that had been reusedrecycled.
