The Truth As It Applies To » Employment Law History Uk And Other Analyses
what are my rights? UK law?
I worked for a company who advertised me on their website along with the rest of the sales force as a member of staff and to contact the company if they wish me to contact them, I left TWO years ago!! they are still advertising my services on their website complete wth photo, I've sent them an e-mail a month ago asking them to remove it, they never replied or removed it, where do i stand and what can i do to force the removal of my photo, name and employment history from their website.
Thomas M, one they have received recorded mail of request from me, how long do they then have to change the info?
Go to trading standards. Basically if they are advertising a service that is not accurately described then they will insist on its alteration solving your problem.
Either that or, what I would personally do is, Invoice them for your services as a contractor for the last 2 years. Then if they dont pay threaten them with small claims court. They will soon play ball!
P.S. Regarding the 1st posters answer - Data Protection rules don't apply. They only cover certain details - Names are not included. Also when you joined the company you will have agreed to them holding info on you - or you couldnt have got paid! You may loosly be able to claim the accurate held about yourself is not accurate, but this is a hard sell and other routes would proove easier.
Could always call the Police and report them for Identity theft?! That would be interesting....
There's nothing British about the BNP
