"State has a statutory duty, to maintain and enter information onto the Electronic Individual Insolvency Register (eIIR) where a bankruptcy order has been made."
Are you not in an IVA rather than Bankruptcy ?

I see no sense in an Insolvency Register open to all and sundry.Yes financial institutions and suppliers offering credit terms should be able to access the info,but Joe Public,i;e your next door neighbour....NO

They don't have to maintain an "electronic" register - because if they did why is there not the same in Scotland or Northern Ireland? It is high time the accessibility of this information was limited to those with a "need to know", and I fully support your action Andy.

I agree, and would be happy to support a class action, I'd like to remain anonymous though.

Anything which restricts the register on a need to know basis is a good thing, and removing it from the internet and general public view is the only way to stop the search engines from listing the site and database contents.

On reading the response from the Insolvency Service I've got to say those thoughts were running through my head too. I'm in a IVA and not Bankrupt.

I'd be happy to support that as well, but also anonymously.

Why is that people assume that IVA and Bankruptcy are the same?

I'm surprised the Insolvency Service didn't differentiate between the two.

I feel the same as inaiva - I'm not bankrupt, just in an IVA.

HI guys count me in for this I to feel very upset
do you know that if you apply for a job the company can look you up on the net so you don't even get an interveiw if you have been in Prison for a crime the job is yours is there a list on the net of offenders BET NOT

Yes, and there are some people who work in our finance department at work who check the insolvency register when assessing new clients.

I was under the wrong impression they only used CRA's which keep a record of the search.

When I heard that I felt sick, I really hope they do not look up people in the office out of curiosity, or was this their way to let me know they know my situation.

That dammed register.

Doesnt affect me as I am in scotland but this is truely horrible. One of my middle names is very unusual so if I was in england on the register and someone typed in my name up I would pop,thats outrageous. The sooner the info in restricted to those who require it the better.

Surely there must be a case of someone who has been on the register having been defrauded by someone who gained info from the register.

There really is no need for public access,as Mel says,its doesnt happen all over the uk.

Can anyone tell me how this is going as I was appalled when I found out, due to get lots of mail from IP's trying to get me to ove IVA (which is illegal), also when I asked how they got my details as I'm ex directory they quoted the website and a journal available to IP's.

Have suffered with depression (on the back end of it now) so didn't have energy to persue further, but am appalled everyone could know my financial business.

Unfortunately it didn't get anywhere! The register will remain in the public domain.

With a change in Goverment and the change of details of BR not now having to go in the local papers I wonder if this could be looked into again.
I wonder why they stopped the local paper advert ? was it because someone realized it causes stress and worry, if so so does the ****
Register and being able to just google your name.

It has been suggested, don't know if Andy will take it up.

I google my name and I'm all sorts of things, real estate agent, singer, author - you name it! I'm just not me though!

My name is unusual and luckily on google it only brings up meetings I've been to with work etc., Council meeting notes and the like phew. x
