http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-somerset-41691313Do people just get offended by anything these days? Gimmick used to highlight serious crime and bring attention to the matter, hardly Jimmy Saville in nature, is it?

Could you explain in simple terms what GDPR is?
EU General Data Protection Regulation. All to do with Data Protection and will affect all businesses/education/nhs etc. Literally everyone. http://www.eugdpr.org/ |

Sam Allardyce. He seems to be the first to rule himself out when a management job comes up, nevermind if they wanted him or not.

Data protection. It's basically getting stricter for everyone. |

You know how Equifax gave all your personal details to anyone who fancied them a few months ago, it's a law to try and make businesses think that having ways of preventing that is a good idea. You don't strike me as the sort who has a bundle of credit cards in his wallet, more likely a collection of rare beer mats, but you may well now have quite a few credit cards that you didn't know about. On it's own I suppose that isn't a problem, until they don't pay them for you either. |

Don't know anything about Equifax... however I do have a bank account etc, so does my bank give away details of my account. I'd rather hope they wouldn't. This whole credit thing is a bit weird. I've never had a credit card, always taken great delight when they've been offered in cutting them up into small pieces. If you can't pay for it don't buy it has always seemed a fairly sensible basic philosophy, now it seems you are supposed to get a credit score. Apparently, my score would be poor, as I've never had any credit. |

Equifax, like Experian, store lots of personal and financial information about you, even if you do not have any credit. They use that information to determine a credit score, and you are correct, yours would be poor. That information is covered by the DPA - so people can't ask for it without certain privileges - like you, or maybe the Police if you've been secretly trafficking Eastern European ladies.
Recently, Equifax let pretty much all the data get breached by having shoddy online security.
Even with poor credit, someone can use your information to get a payday loan for example.
So, it's a good idea to have laws in place to ensure companies take the protection of that data seriously. Equifax clearly got a bit cocky!
