Unwarranted Table1 search by Crapquest.....

[inkslinger]

Been a while since I have had to deal with these idiots. Looking for a little advice as to how to approach things.

 

Quick over view. Current address for 3 years, always on the elecoral roll, have had dealings with these cowboys three years ago so they are well aware Im at this address. Clean credit file, nothing outstanding, everythings been paid off, or has become sb'd. Lastdefaults etc on my record fell off over two years ago.

 

Out of the blue a search appears by Capquest under table1 for outstanding debt. Iv seen the sneaky tatics these people use first hand and Im wise to them. Iv kept every letter, Sar, phone record the lot for the last four years so there can be no pulling the wool over my eyes as they maybe did when I was more niave.

 

So whats the best course of action here? I dont have a clue what its about or why but I think it may be a little punishment over a rap they took to the knuckles a few years back.

 

Im happy to go straight for the jugular on this one. Any advice would be appreciated.

You could send them a S.10 notice but you must be willing to follow it through, also make a complaint to the ICO.

Just fired an email off to the date controller, telling, and not asking them to remove it immediately. If they dont I will take it further...............

How long is it acceptable to give them to remove a search? Iv contacted the data controller at Capquest twice now, its been 9 days since the search appeared and I haven't had a single reply from them. Iv reported it to the ICO and asked equifax and Experian to remove the entry. Iv informed the data controller that I think hes had enough time to respond and that the next time I will write by mail and charge them £25 per letter.
