MOD (Lost Personal Info) --admits it--Compensation?
I got my letter yesterday from MOD admitting that my personal details were amongst the ones that have been lost. Question is--is there a case for compensation?

I assume that if you were to receive any compensation you would donate it to something worthy such as Help for Heroes.
Tell you what, if the MOD were to have to compensate for this then they could direct the money to where it is really needed; cut out the middle man. On your agreement of course?

Ahh, the compensation culture, don't you just love it. Tell you what, when you can prove you have been disadvantaged and not just had your feelings hurt by this fiasco then you may have a case to answer, until such times let the MoD spend their time and dosh on more important things like boots, bombs and bullets and of course upgrading accommodation etc etc etc.
And why should I donate my potential compensation to anyone or any cause, Oh, because Messrs b and c demand that it be so--and why should I be already pre-judged and on what grounds? Did I say I was going to keep it? I don't believe I did so wind your necks in.

I see that you are into the denigration and slander mode that lead you to leave a previous thread.
The original question was quite valid; you may wish to consider how much information you would have included in your post if you were liable to fraud due to data loss.

You did not say you judged or believed him to be " a money grabbing pikey" - you stated it as a fact. You made an absolute statement - not a qualified one.
Time for the ignore button again.
Bye - Bye

You gave no impression that you would not keep it.
Because there are a lot more people out there suffering a greater loss than you could ever imagine.
Beacuse you started this thread
Did I say I was going to keep it? I don't believe I did
And why should I donate my potential compensation to anyone or any cause
--and why should I be already pre-judged and on what grounds?

From what I understand from looking at the issue, the first data loss (RN laptop) led to an investigation and enforcement notice against the MoD by the Information Commissioner, who ruled that 2 of the data protection principles (3rd and 7th principles) had been broken and that Article 8 of ECHR had been unlawfully interfered with.
My belief is that MoD is wide open on the issue. And that's only for breach #1. I've been the victim of 3 breaches, most recent communication is from the Army Recruitment and Training Division - and I joined the chuffing Air Force!!!!
Sorry for those who take a dim view of the compensation culture, but I believe the only way MoD will ever take appropriate measures (with regard to this, or other far more serious issues) is through litigation. I, for one, would give any cash to a Service charity.

cornish-stormrider,
Speak to your local RBL branch and ask them, my luvver. Believe me, nothing beats sitting alongside the old boys with the full RBL regalia. I will be joining my local branch on the Sunday, and all being well will be at the Cenotaph on Whitehall on the 11th.

While you might get an ex-gratia payment, to get an award through a court you'd have to show a personal loss/cost as a direct result (on the balance of probabilities) of the loss of your data. Simply saying you might have been compromised is not enough.
