I’m looking for some thoughts on the following please.
I had previously mentioned that I had been dealing with an insolvency practitioner in the UK. Having spent time discussing my situation with them, it was decided that I would be best suited to their debt management programme.
All ran very smoothly and my creditors were positively responsive to my financial difficulties. I have been complying with the arrangement.
I now find today that the UK Insolvency Practitioner is no longer able to operate in Ireland due to legislative changes.
They have also advised me that my file has been passed onto a company in Ireland in a fait accompli fashion.
My questions are
1) Under the Data Protection Act will my file which is highly sensitive be protected?
2) Can I sue the UK Insolvency Practice for handing over my file that I believed was secure and protected under British legislation?
3) Will my contract with the British Insolvency practice hold up in the Irish context with its new legislation?
I believe that my information should not have been divulged to a third party apart from my creditors.
