Scottish Widows data protection error ‘costs customer £50k’

Posted on December 18, 2014 by Dissent

Tessa Norman reports:

A Scottish Widows customer claims the provider has cost him £50,000 after it breached the Data Protection Act by sending details of his pension to his ex-wife.

The provider has offered the customer, who cannot be named for legal reasons, £500 in compensation for sending the information to an unauthorised address.

But the customer says his losses will be in the region of £50,000 plus legal expenses, as his ex-wife is seeking half of the pension policy’s £100,000 value.
