    Hi,

    thank you for your e-mail!

    This case is now with ICO, (casework@ico.org.uk), so I guess, that we
    should perhaps wait for them, to finish with their case-work, before I
    e.g. escalate to you.

    I hope this is alright!

    Best regards,

    Erik Ribsskog

    PS.

    Hi,

    I don’t understand why I have to send about this, with ‘snail-mail’.

    E-mails should be fine enough.

    Virgin don’t have a general enquiery e-mail-address, on their website.

    So I then think I don’t have to exhaust their internal complaint procedure.

    Since Virgin then sends a message, that they don’t want correspondence, I think.

    (By not having their general enquiery e-mail address on their website).

    So I would have wanted a second opinion, to do with this complaint, please.

    So if you could please escalate, this complaint, to your line-manager.

    Thanks in advance for any help with this!

    Best regards,

    Erik Ribsskog

    Hi,

    thank you for your e-mail!

    This case is now with ICO, (casework@ico.org.uk), so I guess, that we
    should perhaps wait for them, to finish with their case-work, before I
    e.g. escalate to you.

    I hope this is alright!

    Best regards,

    Erik Ribsskog

    Hi,

    I don’t understand why I have to send about this, with ‘snail-mail’.

    E-mails should be fine enough.

    Virgin don’t have a general enquiery e-mail-address, on their website.

    So I then think I don’t have to exhaust their internal complaint procedure.

    Since Virgin then sends a message, that they don’t want correspondence, I think.

    (By not having their general enquiery e-mail address on their website).

    So I would have wanted a second opinion, to do with this complaint, please.

    So if you could please escalate, this complaint, to your line-manager.

    Thanks in advance for any help with this!

    Best regards,

    Erik Ribsskog

    Virgin don’t have a general enquiery e-mail-address, on their website.

    So I then think I don’t have to exhaust their internal complaint procedure.

    Since Virgin then sends a message, that they don’t want correspondence, I think.

    (By not having their general enquiery e-mail address on their website).

    So I would have wanted a second opinion, to do with this complaint, please.

    So if you could please escalate, this complaint, to your line-manager.

    Thanks in advance for any help with this!

    Best regards,

    Erik Ribsskog

    Case Reference Number ENQ0493394

    Dear Mr Ribsskog

    Thank you for your email of 18 April 2013.

    The matters you raise will be passed to a manager in the Casework and Advice Division who should send you a detailed response within 28 days.  If for some reason the manager is unable to send a full response within that timeframe, he or she will let you know what is happening and when you will receive a full response.

    You will notice that there are two reference numbers at the top of this page.  To explain why, ENQ0493394 relates to the enquiry you sent us about Virgin Media. RCC0494312 is a new reference number, which relates to the correspondence you sent us in relation to the way we have handled ENQ0493394.

    A manager will contact you shortly.

    Yours sincerely

    Amy Holmes

    Hi,

    thank you for your e-mail.

    I think it’s no doubt that the Virgin-engineer could have come across personal information, about me, when he sat down, in front of my computer.

    And this guy didn’t seem reliable, to me.

    Since he both drilled an extra hole in the wall, and he also distroyed my printer, when he sat down, on my chair.

    Because he acted like he was Charlie Chaplin, and fell down, from the chair, and distroyed the printer.

    Even if this was young engineer.

    And an engineer should understand how to sit on a chair.

    So I think he broke my printer on purpuse.

    And then I think he also could have drilled the extra hole, in the wall, on purpose.


    This is not the kind of people, that I want, to sit in front of my computer.
    It’s a PC, that means Personal Computer.

    And I could have had personal information on it.

    I scan documents, and people in general have a lot of information, on their computers.

    And this engineer was very good at computing, so who knows what he did, on my computer.

    I didn’t like monitor him, I tried to be a bit laid-back.


    And it was also two other Virgin-staff here, that day.
    The Virgin-staff who didn’t have an apointment, was here the next day.

    And that was a fourth Virgin-guy.

    So you have mixed up two of the Virgin-guys.

    It wasn’t the one who didn’t have an apointment, who looked at my computer.

    Those were two different guys.

    And even a fifth guy, turned up, the next week.

    So Virgin sendt five engineers here, to install a broadband-line.

    And it took them about a week, to finish the job.
    And a broadband-line isn’t that spectacular, these days.

    In 2006, BT used one engineer, and only one visit, (that lasted a couple of hours, I think it was), to install a broadband-line, when I lived in Mandeville St.

    So this that Virgin needs five guys to install a broadband-line, (when BT only needs one guy).

    It’s makes me wonder if Virgin are trying to terrorise me, or something.

    Hm.

    And this is the year 2013.


    It’s not the year 1913.

    And still Virgin doesn’t have an e-mail-address.

    A company which sells broadband-lines that doesn’t have an e-mail address.

    And the same with Ofcom.

    Are you sure you don’t have these e-mail-addresses.

    When I worked as a Store Manger, in Norway, I had a book with phone-numbers, for other organisations, in the retail-business.


    Don’t you at ICO have a list, where you have e-mail-addresses, etc.
    Is it ok that I don’t write to Virgin, since they don’t have an e-mail-address?
    Also, in my last e-mail, I asked you if you could please escalate this case, to your line-manager.

    Even the Virgin-guy who went here without an apointment could have seen personal information.

    What if I had had a girl-friend, and had a picture of her naked, was on the screen, and the computer was on.

    Or a love-letter had been laying on the table?

    That would have been personal information, I think.


    So I wonder if that Virgin-guys go to your flat, without an apointment, is a breach of ones Data Protection-rights.

    (Norwegian: ‘personvern’).
    And shouldn’t Ofcom and Virgin have e-mails-addresses?

    They can’t say they don’t understand the new IT-technology.


    Because these are IT-organisations, I’d say.

    So this is a cause of concern, I think, that these organisations doesn’t have e-mail addresses.

    Could you please escalate this case to your line-manager.

    So I could get a second opinion about this, please.

    Thanks in advance for the help with this!

    Best regards,

    18 April 2013

    Case Reference Number ENQ0493394

    Dear Mr Ribsskog

    Thank you for your further correspondence dated 11 April 2013.

    I understand from your correspondence that you are concerned that a Virgin engineer who attended your properly did so without an appointment, and that this engineer also looked at your PC.

    As I have outlined in my previous emails, the engineer attending your property without an appointment would not be covered by the Data Protection Act 1998 (DPA). As such, it is not a matter that this office can address.

    The DPA is specifically concerned with ‘personal data’, and gives certain rights to individuals regarding their personal data. It also states that data controllers, (organisations who process and control personal data), shall process personal data in line with eight principles of good information handling.

    In your latest email you now also mention that the engineer ‘looked’ at your computer, but you do not give any further information. If he simply saw what was on your screen whilst he was in your property then this would not be a concern under the DPA.

    If he processed, (used, disclosed, edited, deleted etc), personal data contained in files on your computer, then he would have needed to do this in line with the provisions of the DPA. In particular, in line with the first principle, which states that personal data must be processed fairly and lawfully and with respect to one of the conditions outlined in the Act.

    In practise this means that at the point an organisation collects personal data from an individual, it needs to give ‘fair processing’ information to the individual concerned about how their data is going to be used. This is often given in the form of a ‘Privacy Notice’ (a written statement).

    If the engineer did process files on your computer which contained your personal data, and you did not receive any fair processing information then this could potentially be a concern in relation to the DPA.

    If you believe that this is the case, you should, in the first instance, write to the organisation directly and outline your concerns. Keep copies of any letters you send together with any replies you receive.

    If, having raised these issues in writing with the organisation, you still have concerns about their compliance with the DPA, you may then wish to make a complaint to us for assessment. During this assessment process we would determine whether it is likely or unlikely that the organisation complied with the DPA in relation to this issue.

    For us to be able to consider a complaint we would need you to provide us with a completed complaint form (which can be found through the link below), a copy of your complaint to the organisation and their response (if they have responded), and a copy of any other relevant information, eg evidence that the incident occurred and a copy of any privacy notices you received.

    http://www.ico.org.uk/complaints/handling

    Unfortunately I am not able to provide you with specific contact information form Virgin or Ofcom, as this is not within the remit of our office. I have again provided the links to the contact pages of their websites.

    Hi,

    thank you for your e-mail!
    What I though of, was that people entering my flat, without an appointment, could get personal information about me, since I then don’t have time to prepare the flat, for guests.

    Also, the Virgin-engineer that broke my printer, also looked at my PC.

    PC means Personal Computer.

    So this is personal information and data.
    Perhaps these people should not be three at a time, and not look at ones computer.


    What if I had a girl-friend and had naked pictures of her on my computer?
    There are many other examples.

    I’ve learned about this at business-school, in Norway.

    We called it ‘personvern’, (meaning person procection).

    I think this possibly could be a case for you.

    Also, I’m still wondering about Ofcoms general enquiery e-mail address.

    And also Virgin’s general enquiery e-mail address.

    You don’t seem to provide me with these?

    Wouldn’t it be part of your job to provide me with information like that?

    Could I please have this escalated to your line-manager for a second opinion.

    Regards,

    Erik Ribsskog

    Subject: Problems with Virgin Broadband

    Hi,

    I read about ICO on Ofcom’s website.

    I couldn’t fine e-mail addresses to Ofcom or Virgin, so I write to you.

    I was recomended Virgin, by a fellow study abroad student, at University of Sunderland, in 2004.

    (For mobiles, but anyway).

    I’ve earlier had Nextgentel, (in Norway), and BT, (at an earlier address).

    They drilled a whole in the wall, and just put some paste, (or something in it), and asked me to paint over it.

    Also, they were three people, and BT were only one, (at the place I lived in 2005/06).

    I think this was strange.

    I still use my mobile broadband, because they couldn’t get it to work.

    I said I’d reinstall Windows.

    But that wasn’t enough.

    A few minuttes after the three Virgin-guys left.

    I got a call from Paul, who had told me to call him tomorrow, if the broadband didn’t work.

    (Because I had to say something to get them out of the appartment.

    So I said I’ll reinstall Windows.

    And if the modem still doesn’t work, I’ll call Virgin’.

    Then a third guy; (who got here later, after the other two were finished).

    An older guy named Paul.

    (Who also had a Virgin uniform).

    He wrote his phone-numer down, on a Virgin folder.

    After asking me if I had a pen.

    He then called me, just a few minutes, after they left.

    And said Virgin would be back in my flat, on Wednesday morning.

    To switch some stuff in the white box.

    I asked him if the internet would work in the mean-time.

    He said it would.

    I said that then I don’t any more people here to wake me up.

    Then I don’t want any more Virgin-staff here.

    I think it’s something funny going on.

    I’ve had broadband for years, both in Norway and in the UK, and never have any of the broadband-companies wanted to come back to my flat, to switch some broadband-stuff.

    And without sending a letter.

    This I wanted to complain about.

    Is this to install something that is breaching my data protection, I’m wondering.

    This is harassment, I think.

    Hi,

    some minuttes ago, I was awoken by some ringing at my door.
    A Gary from Virgin, he said he was.

    I had no apointment with them today.
    And he got a screw-driver and did some stuff in the corner of my living-room.


    And then he said they’ll be back next week again.

    I’ve had broadband from BT, and they just sent one guy, on one visit, which the time was agreed in advance about.

    That was spring 2006, (when I lived in Mandeville St.), I think it must have been.

    But now Virgin has sent four guys in two days.

    And today’s guy hadn’t even got an apointment.
    What’s this supposed to mean.
    How can you have companies like this?

    Hi,

    while these Albanian mafia-criminals, (or what they are), where out of my flat, a while, I took some photos for my blog.
    And these criminals brought a funny black wire, into my flat.

    Which they just let lay on the floor.
    That’s probably why the third guy showed up.

    The enigneer must have called him, and said I had a bootleg internet-wire.


    When really I’ve had mobile broadband, from EE, the last months.

    (Which I use while sending this e-mail).

    And then they made a funny whole, in the wall, and pretended the funny wire, had been in it.

    This is sickening I think.

    I overheard in 2003, I was followed by the ‘mafian’ in Oslo.

    I’ve written about this thousands of times, on my blog, since 2007.

    The whole World just sit on their bums and looks at this.

    Humanity is a joke, it seems.

    Hi,

    these mafia-guys, (or what they are), even distroyed my printer, I see now.
    The enigneer pretended to fall out my chair, and the paper-tray, for my printer, was distroyed.

    How can you in the UK have thugs like these everywhere?

    It’s like you don’t have any decent people at all here in the UK.

    You shouldn’t be in the EU then if you are just criminals.

    Hi,

    I read about ICO on Ofcom’s website.

    I couldn’t fine e-mail addresses to Ofcom or Virgin, so I write to you.
    I was recomended Virgin, by a fellow study abroad student, at University of Sunderland, in 2004.

    (For mobiles, but anyway).
    I’ve earlier had Nextgentel, (in Norway), and BT, (at an earlier address).
    They drilled a whole in the wall, and just put some paste, (or something in it), and asked me to paint over it.

    Also, they were three people, and BT were only one, (at the place I lived in 2005/06).
    I think this was strange.
    I still use my mobile broadband, because they couldn’t get it to work.

    I said I’d reinstall Windows.
    But that wasn’t enough.

    A few minuttes after the three Virgin-guys left.

    I got a call from Paul, who had told me to call him tomorrow, if the broadband didn’t work.

    (Because I had to say something to get them out of the appartment.
    So I said I’ll reinstall Windows.

    And if the modem still doesn’t work, I’ll call Virgin’.


    Then a third guy; (who got here later, after the other two were finished).

    An older guy named Paul.

    (Who also had a Virgin uniform).

    He wrote his phone-numer down, on a Virgin folder.


    After asking me if I had a pen.
    He then called me, just a few minutes, after they left.
    And said Virgin would be back in my flat, on Wednesday morning.

    To switch some stuff in the white box.

    I asked him if the internet would work in the mean-time.

    He said it would.

    I said that then I don’t any more people here to wake me up.

    Then I don’t want any more Virgin-staff here.
    I think it’s something funny going on.

    I’ve had broadband for years, both in Norway and in the UK, and never have any of the broadband-companies wanted to come back to my flat, to switch some broadband-stuff.

    And without sending a letter.

    This I wanted to complain about.

    Is this to install something that is breaching my data protection, I’m wondering.

    This is harassment, I think.

    Hi,

    while these Albanian mafia-criminals, (or what they are), where out of my flat, a while, I took some photos for my blog.
    And these criminals brought a funny black wire, into my flat.

    Which they just let lay on the floor.
    That’s probably why the third guy showed up.

    The enigneer must have called him, and said I had a bootleg internet-wire.


    When really I’ve had mobile broadband, from EE, the last months.

    (Which I use while sending this e-mail).

    And then they made a funny whole, in the wall, and pretended the funny wire, had been in it.

    This is sickening I think.

    I overheard in 2003, I was followed by the ‘mafian’ in Oslo.
