(Censored due to Cifas's legal threats),

I was very concerned to hear that you feel the reference to you on the site has enabled harassers to track you down. I will shortly remove your name from the site. I will then check the veracity of your claims and decide how to proceed depending on the results of those checks.

Because this is such a very serious matter, I would ni the meantime, appreciate your urgent response to the following questions:

• Have you contacted BT and enabled their free anti-harrassment service? Please give me the BT reference number.
• Have you contacted the Police yet? As the allegation is so very serious I suggest you do so or allow me to do so on your behalf. I will need a case number in order to finish all my checks and ensure that neither of us waste Police time duplicating the crime report.

I have run a quick check of the number of individuals currently identifiable as (Censored due to Cifas's legal threats) in the UK. I found 64 but suspect there are more. I would be interested to hear your thoughts on whether the harrassers rang all 64 in an effort to trace you. If they did - and I presume they had to, because we have not published your address or any other identifying information other than your name - then I would be grateful if you would pass it on to me so that I can pass it on to the police and to BT. Those calls to the other 63 (Censored due to Cifas's legal threats) s will, of course, help BT track down the harrasser(s).

You will also be aware, I am sure, that your personal details are publicly available through the Companies House record of your directorship, provided that your directorship has been brought to the attention of Companies House.

I would encourage you complain to the DPA about the site and its mention of your name. They will help clarify whether the site has broken Data Protection Act laws or not.

I will be in London between 6th and 9th September. Can I suggest that we meet up and discuss this issue further, in particular, the assurances you have sought from me. I would also like to discuss my plans for future coverage of CIFAS, as these are well advanced.

This allegation has highlighted several conflicts. I feel a meeting will be beneficial to all concerned.

Regards,

Lee Kimber
