The facts

The complainant reported receiving a call from the respondent's staff asking for personal details, including name, address and National Identification Number, to confirm a standing order application. The respondent explained this was a callback procedure after receiving a standing order instruction in the complainant's name, processed only once the complainant confirmed the details, and assured the Office that measures were taken to prevent similar issues. The complainant raised no further concerns.

Orders and outcome

The Commissioner found the enquiry disclosed no offence under the DPA and closed it to the satisfaction of all parties.
