    Personal data blagging 'routine' says ICO.

    BBC News - Blagging goes beyond media firms - data watchdog

    Routine hacking and blagging of personal data by financial services, debt collection and claims management companies is going untackled, the information commissioner has warned.
    "My great concern about section 55 isn't really very much to do with the press," he said.

    "[There is] lots and lots of evidence of section 55 being breached on quite a routine basis, but it's really about financial services, about debt collection, about claims management companies and [about] some worrying interference with the course of justice, perhaps attempted jury nobbling or witness tampering."

    Rizzle,

    Blimey this has been going on for years and many have made complaints about it so did not take long for the ICO to recognize and make a public statement.

    It is a well known fact that certain solicitors will commit contempt in court I have seen it with my own eyes in my own case.

    Sadly not many if any Judges will do anything about it
