Winter blues, when you say your name I guess you mean in google, I would complete the google right to be forgotten form, that will get rid of that.

I have been a director of several firms and they all come up on a name search, again they are all pay for services because ltd companies have to file accounts. I guessing you may have the right to be forgotten on those too.

This site is useful too, I have just requested the website in its entirety be removed from google searches and a legal request about its' contents.

You can request outdated search results get dumped too.

For now it doesn't even exist anymore, not even getting a being updated message anymore.

[winter_blues]

Yes, I have sent that form to Google. Will send one for company director check site. It's just funny that both sites end with "check".

[winter_blues]

Wow, long slog!. You know your stuff. Seems you've got them on the run!...

[longslog101]

He he, could be a fluke, they might just be updating it to add photos of us all too !! Lol

I have never submitted a forget me requets but just done about 30 of them, mostly because lots of firms list your old directorships of ltds etc

Footiemad, I really do sympathise with your situation, but this information may not have had the negative impact you fear, only time will tell I guess. I am terrified that the damage is already done in my case too. I have noticed that under Google, when I put in my name, this site comes up pretty much as the first piece of information on me and unlike some of you my name is significantly less common so there will be no way I can just say that it wasn't me, or someone with the same name. In other words I'm pretty much screwed! However the fact the site appears to be down is a step in the right direction. I shall have to consider telling anyone who may ask is this 'bankruptcy' info is incorrect, that I have been the target of a hacker or identity fraud of some kind and that it's just incorrect. I do realise though that if people take the time to then look me up on the IR I will be there, but I'm hoping that this won't actually be the case. I shall be on the case first thing tomorrow and emailing the ICO, the domain people, Google and the Insolvency Service etc. My IP will be doing the same and I will also get the debt management company to look into this. We will need to keep the pressure up to ensure this site stays down. I also think that given the fact they have over reached the terms of their licence there should be some legal repercussions for the company that has done this. I think anyone who has had their professional life in any way damaged and their livelihood compromised should surely be allowed to pursue this matter legally. I'm not a lawyer but I cannot believe that there cannot be proper mechanisms within the law to prevent this type of sensitive information, from being used to damage people and therefore destroying their lives in this way. As someone in an IVA I often feel like I have no rights at all, other than to pay up and shut up so to speak, but this is just completely unacceptable. As someone else has pointed out on this thread this company will end up with blood on it's hands. I for one have been feeling pretty low and desperate since I found out about this. I feel trapped and utterly humiliated to the point where I could quite honestly say I am on the verge of considering the inconceivable. However I will remain as calm as I can, as I have other people to consider and I will also remain determined to do everything I can to get this google search removed and to keep this site and any others like it off the internet. We will all need to incredibly vigilant from now on about what info is out there but I really really want answers from people within the Insolvency Service and the industry itself as to how this could have happened like this! It's a breech of everything I was led to believe I could expect from being in an agreement like this, even though the information itself is public, let alone a breech of civil liberties. Despite the fact that the internet makes our lives like open books these days this is just utterly galling. There would be more protection for criminals than for people in IVAs. Not acceptable whatsoever. Sorry, rant over!

[Susie1]

Just to add a huge thank you to Longslog and various others for all your knowledge and knowhow that we're all benefitting from with this issue. I am a total novice when it comes to these sorts of things and find it all totally bewildering.

[winter_blues]

Susie, totally agree with you. Your I.P and others on here will support you. It's annoying but it's not the end of the world!. And hopefully get sorted soon.

[nevillebunny]

Susie can totally relate. Since finding out this information I have thought of nothing else and complained to anyone and everyone to get something done about this. I suffer from anxiety and take regular meds for this. I can up it stronger doses when required and been taken the maximum since finding out this information.

But we need to all keep strong, support each other and stick together.

I can not see any real benefit for the person who set up this website other than financial or because they enjoy trolling.

They say they want to make information more accessible. It is accessible via the right means, that being the insolvency register. It does not give someone the right to dictate others lifes, and destroy people.

[longslog101]

It I now go to google and google the website name I can only get on hit and it says it is reserved for one of our customers.

The hosting site has a complaints form, it is here https://www.cloudns.net/contact/

I'm not sure if this is where it was hosted before or a new host they have registered, however I have copy and pasted my complaint and legal request for the author contact papers for issuing legal papers to. I have advised the info registers on the lookup is not genuine as they keep changing it, so perhaps whatever info is being used to pay for The service which is working must be valid. I have also stated I believe the site supports, financial fraud as it has so much data available and also inaccurate data it has been responsible for the loss of business and pain and suffering. We shall see if I get anything

Firms understand money and the risk of losing it !!

I can only empathise with those who have been impacted by this, fortunately I have not, if things get really low remember there are some great organisations out there who can help when it feels like there is nowhere else to turn, sometimes just a friendly voice can help http://www.samaritans.org/how-we-can-he ... contact-us [:)]

Hopefully the insolvency firms will be all over this also because it is actions like this site that will prevent people from signing up, that means a potential loss of business for them too.

[winter_blues]

Good news !. If you search your name its gone !!! Can't believe it . No personal details there. I guess Google have acted fast. [:)]

[nevillebunny]

It may also be worth reporting this website to the UK Cyber Crime Reporting Centre. This is run by the police who would have the power to get more information on the individual or individuals involved.

As surely just giving a false business address to Nominet with the intention to exploit and offend others should be enough on its own???

Hi. I am the owner of this web-site, and have shut it down voluntarily earlier today. Very little of the information that was on it was never meant to be 'publicly' visible. I hadn't even checked it for few weeks untill today I decided to check it and found this thread + a few emails in my spam folder. At first I tried to fix the problem by removing wrong data and re-wording it. But after checking I did not know that this information was being revealed fully.

Also the person did not hide the data correctly who originally made the site .

I will refer myself to the authorities tomorrow so they can decide what to do, if there is room to be compensation or fines.

I have removed the website entirely from Google, Bing, Yahoo and within 1 hour they will be gone. In fact now for me I can`t find alles in Google.

I would of course like to deeply apologize to every one affected. It was never my intention to cause such distress, it's just an error. If anyone want to discuss it further please contact me thru PM. Again, to say I am really really sorry. Jared
