This bankruptcy database I know of, and have access to. The worrying thing for me is that YOU have access to it for marketing purposes.
I use it to vet people, who have agreed to be vetted or it is in the common good to do so. I really don't think any of these public databases shuld be available to companies for the purposes of marketing, as there is no restraint and no legal consequenses for mismanagement of data unlike with me.
People should be able to respond to ads if they are bankrupt not be called, or sent letters.
The security industry is being heavily shook up at the moment as it is all being put through licensing for the first time in UK history. Hopefully this will lead to a more professional management of people's data by the government.
