There's a simple way to stop your double glazing calls, just register with the TPS or CPS, no need for subterfuge and second phones. I haven't had one of them for years.

You dont automatically get fined. You get taken to court first. You can give your reasons. Been there, done that, and I got case dismissed.

I can`t understand why people are so upset about filling in a once in every decade form. Have you seen the adverts on the side of this website for example? Have you googled something and seen the ads following you about? Have you sent a donation to a charity and filled out their form with your name and address? What assurances did you get that you wouldn`t hear anything more? None! At least the census is government approved and legal. I can`t see what the problem is.

Easiest way around the Census 'problem' was to not be truthful/not to give sensitive info on the form

No one knocking on your door weeks later and no personal info about you finding its way into the public domain as some seem to be so obsessively paranoid about

Simple

my tax return has a lot more confidential info on it

[SIRandyraven]

237SJ - So you have missed all the stories in the press about the government loss of data ...disks being posted ...laptops on trains etc ...then you have the hackers ....
Maybe some people don't like the idea of all this data at risk of being published on the web.
I have a friend who is a policeman and does not like the idea of some of the people he has got banged up knowing where he lives and he has kids and a wife that works.
Easy when on the web ....
Look up all the policemen with his name on the census form ...get his address ...know where his wife works ...how she gets to work ...

[SIRandyraven]

Yep tax form ....
DVLA
Electoral register
NI and TAX records ...like you said
Passport forms
School application forms
Travel cards
Credit cards
But is this info in one place and on one Database ?
As I say what a waste of £500 million ...they have all the data already

Haven't filled it in, won't fill it in, never have filled one in, might get fined, never have before, if I do I do, no-one should be obliged to answer personal questions they don't want to, and they'll have to get through the gates first, then past the dogs, then realise I don't have a doorbell or a letter box on the house mwahahahaha. I expect they'll give up after a few attempts, shelve it ( like the have previously- after all it's SOOOOO important we all fill them in, the simply couldn't be ar5sed last time to even summons me to court) and forget about it like they have in previous years.

[SIRandyraven]

Anyway ...filled my form in online

[steg]

".they have all the data already"
well stop whining like a wee bairn then

[boxtops]

Sirandy - LOL ;-)

[237SJ]

SirR I haven`t missed the stories about lost laptops on trains etc. Any laptop can be lost by the police (common) or government staff regardless as to what is on it. As most data is stored via IT systems these days there will always be that risk whether it is census data or any other kind of data.

SUSPCE Judge could simply hand you a pen and let you fill form in - ygou are wastinhg tax payers money buy your anti estabiishment thoughts and actions

[JackDiamond]

The Government has spent the money the firm called capita collecting the forms will lose some of their profit not the tax payer.
The ONS has spent £500million to try to get an accurate picture of the size of a population greatly swelled by poorly recorded immigration.

Remember all the fuss and bother with the Poll Tax? I lost my demand but paid it because I thought I could remember how much it was. A couple of months later when all the court cases were being sent out I received one. I had been taken to court for two pence and fined £20 costs. I rang up in a right tizzy and they did actually back off and remove the fine. They also sent me a letter of apology at my loud demand. But honestly - can you credit it? It had gone all through innumerable clerks on it's way to the court and no-one had noticed it was for two pence.
