[BNM] [OT] Advice needed: my hard drive turned up on Ebay

[Neil Pattinson]

Remy,

Any reasonable person would understand 'incinerated' as meaning
'irretrievably destroyed'. Your insurance company would almost certainly
have a duty of care to you to protect/destroy your data: they have
clearly failed in this.

Insurance companies will understand the term 'duty of care' - it has a
legal meaning, as does 'reasonable person'. So don't let them fob you
off, and no matter who they handed the disposal to, it is they, the
insurance company, who had the duty of care to you, not the disposal
company.

Good luck,

Neil.

I've now spoken to the guy who has the laptop now, and he told me that  
it was in fact blank when he got it, but he did a file recovery to  
restore a lost file and found all my data.

I was told: incinerated.

That to me, means cooked until dead.

I still want to follow it up, but I suspect I might be fobbed off with  
language differences...
