Proving that you pay rates to the authorities that fund the site seems OK to me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Tatlock Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 Photo lD doesn't prove you're a ratepayer. Only proof of address does that surely? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RecklessAbandon Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 Also no mention of passports anywhere in the article, and the most likely ID accepted would be a driving license, which all drivers should have on them in the car anyway. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't pointless because the photo id proves you are that person and the proof of address proves if you live in the appropriate ratepayers area.

Albert Tatlock Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 I can't see them having the right to ask for a photo ID (comparing it to what)...all kinds of data protection registration issues there. Driving licences and passports do not contain address data. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly getting rid of a sofa is now going to be as bad as trying to set up an IOM Bank account and I doubt they even have the legal right to check. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they collecting your data or just checking that you are who you say you are and where you live? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
