I've recently left my partner due to emotional abuse.

I discovered tonight that he took photographs of my maternity records and used them to obtain a refund from the train company for an abortive trip to see friends that needed to be rescheduled.

He's taken pictures of my name, address, blood group, NHS number, details about screening, test results, the appointment notes and sent them off. He wrote that we would appreciate a refund as my condition has deteriorated and he doesn't feel like he could leave me at home. The email was sent a day before I left.

He left himself logged in to his email account on my Tablet. We have the same email provider and my app wasn't functioning properly so I went on the internet, his inbox just opened up. The photographs were on the first email.

Is this as bad as I think it is?

He's shared your medical information without your permission, so yes,it is bad. But if he's emotionally abusive, he won't ever recognise that he shouldn't have done that, so no point in having contact to argue this out.

It just reaffirms that you've made the right decision in leaving.

What disgusting behaviour! YANBU at all to think this is awful behaviour and I am sorry this happened Flowers

Surely this is illegal?
The audacity of the shit.

I categorically did not hack into his account he had left himself logged on my tablet.

I'd email the company andrell them he's fraudulently obtained your data and his refund has nothing to do with you.

I have the reference number @fuzzywuzzy
There are FOUR photographs in all their glory.
I feel so violated and it's almost the final straw after a harrowing week for me and our young children.

Send the email.

State that you had no knowledge and categorically did not give permission for the use of your data to this person (is disassociate as much as possible from him in the email).

Ex used my bank statements and payslips to extend his nephews visa after I kicked him out. I found out accidentally and wrote to inform immigration I had no idea about it and my personal data was used fraudulently and I was not taking responsibility for it.

Call the company in the first instance and tell them what has happened that he's wrongfully used your data without permission.

You might also want to add that you want them to remove all of your information from their records, as you did not give permission for it to be used.

Check out the rules about violation of personal data on the information commissioner's website ico.org.uk.
Not only has he stolen your data but sent it to a third party without explicit consent. The train company need to know and need to prove they have deleted it permanently from their mail servers. Ico should offer guidance on your legal rights. He has enough info to clone your id so this needs to be raised.
Formally write to the ex and demand he deletes the images immediately and log his response for the ICO contact. What a shitbag.

I've followed your other post and you really are well rid. I'm not sure if there is any legal comeback. So sorry that he's done this to you.

Op

Is there any point to contacting the company ?

I would be relieved that he has gone. Start looking forward and appreciate that life is going to be sooo much better with him out of it

Btw sooo weird to do what he did! Must be desperate for cash!!

ScruffbagsRUs · 05/08/2017 09:10

I would phone the police, explain to them what has happened and ask advice on what to do next. They should be able to advise you on what you are legally able to do about this.

I'm sure there will be someone along that will be able give good advice on this matter.

lollipop7 · 05/08/2017 11:20

I've told the police
They are coming out to see me on Monday regarding safeguarding issued and his harassment. They are going to review this matter then too.
Thanks for the advice and support.

I am keeping going. 💪💪💪
