USER PROFILE
Linda thought her life was faultless. A successful City banker, with a flat in Mayfair and a cottage in the Cotswolds, the security of her online data had never occurred to her. That changed when she drove down to the country for a Bank Holiday weekend—and found her cottage burgled.
Though the burglar was arrested and found guilty, Linda still lost around £30,000 of jewellery. And during the trial it came out that this wasn’t just a random attack: the thief and his accomplices had picked Linda’s house after exploiting her online data. They used her financial information to pick their target, details of her job to predict she’d be working in London during the week—and property information to find the address.
By working with Regal Credit Management, Linda was able to ensure that this never happened again. We lobbied Companies House to remove details of her company from the public record, and fought over 100 websites to remove her home address. A couple of months on, Linda’s data was purged—and she could go back to enjoying her weekends without worry.
