"I was pleased to be able to attend a telephone appointment today with Mr.Idara, however, I was not pleased that my adviser should be the one with knowledge of my financial affairs, I would far have preferred an unknown (to me), third party (to whom I was previously also unknown), who was versed in such matters as the Data Protection Act and acting in it's accordance, I believe that behaving otherwise may contravene (at least the spirit of), the Data Protection Act (for instance I pay subs to UNITE Community once a year) . It is for this reason (and this reason alone), that I now request that I be allocated an adviser other than Mr.Idara from this point onwards. I also hope that U.C will feel able to respond to my criticisms asap." This my most recent post to my Universal Credit journal.


Idara told me that they were only doing an I.D check but asked me specific details about specific purchases and withdrawals ...I recently underwent "enhanced review" and had to present all my bank statements for the last three months and a host of other stuff...all an I.D check....I really objected to the way I was interrogated today..they've had the kitchen sink what more are they after? They swear they won't use the information....but "ahem" he's my U.C claim adviser!!! Sorry????!!
