I know I probably need to see a lawyer but im a single mum and cant possibly afford it at the moment so this is a plea to some of the lawyers on MN that ive come across over the years - I've name changed because this is a bit sensitive but would be really grateful for thoughts.
I've been the subject of an investigation, into what I'm not quite sure but I believe in relation to (a totally legitimate) small business I was involved in.
I realise this sounds a bit paranoid but i became aware someone was asking questions about me and by shear coincidence was able to establish the questions originated from a large(ish) private detective agency type organization in my area.
Now I don't know what this company want with my information or what they propose to do with it but Im really worried about it all. Is there any point in making a request under the freedom of information act? I should add I know nothing about the law other than what I have learned from a frantic afternoon googling. I think I should be able to get copies of whatever they know a out me but there is apparently an investigation exception which I don't really understand.
Id be really grateful for some help or at least a pointer in the right direction so i can find more details. The business relates to a while ago and my ex and I are no longer together and I'm worried sick about why someone would details about me and my work.
