Who's got the cash to do that?

its VM, BT and the other one in this case, that you stop them passing the data to Phorm or any other 3rd party, its your property to do with as YOU please not the companys you allow to process it.
as for the unlikely event the IC allowing the breach, you can always use a simple small claim in the county court.
for info on that go read the many CAG bank charges/CRA threads, theres one there i cant remember right now were one of the users took the information commisioner to task about there being
NO LAW for the credit reference to retain data for so long, infact they dont
legally have a right to hold it ever.
that thread proves the IC can be win over with just phone calls and legal letters, you will know it when you read it as its massive and full of good CRA/IC advice.
and thats the basis we would use if needs be, its hard to get the CAG threads going now as it seems many of the old bank charges peeps are not there now, but we as in everyone reading this and theReg threads should be fine if its taken seriously and you dont just read but contribute.
just an idea you understand as im getting fed up of repeating things over and over, infact im bored with the whole net and computers right now as im posting here and everywere and getting very little insightful interesting replys or even good tech story leads etc.....
