Ok, so my estate agent has uploaded very clear photos of both mine and Mrs T's passport onto Rightmove!
The took the photos as proof of identity when they came to take photos of the house. They also took photos of a utility bill they used as proof of address and uploaded that just to make sure they did a proper job! Before you say anything I know that giving them passports was a bone thing to do, unfortunately I was at work and Mrs T didn't see a problem with it.
Anyhoo, they've since removed them after they were on for around 16hrs and their form of apology is to pay for new passports and a couple of bottles of wine.
We've reported the issue to the Passport office and the police just in case someone did take the details.
So my question is how do I make them sweat? I'm not one of those compensation junkies but I do want them to realise that this is a serious faux pas. What can I say to them to make them take this issue more seriously. I've told them i'll be speaking with the Information Commissioner but they just said because it was an accident that it wouldn't be an issue.
Rightmove are just as bad. It seems that because a third party posted it on their site that it is not their problem. The don't propose to review their procedures etc.
Come on guys, give me something to make them think about this and take serious preventative measures in future.
