new tenant gave CTAX Bailiff my Phone number - GDPR breach?

[bitemarx]

I owed some council tax after I moved out of a property. Debt collector went round and the new tenant gave them my phone number. (I had contacted the new tenant to collect some post)

 

Is this a GDPR breach? And if so, is there anything I can formally do it about ?

I'm afraid to say that if I were the new tenant I would want you to sort out a mail redirect and talk to the council. You seem to have left them to deal with your problems.

In their position I might also have given them your number to the debt collector for a quiet life.

So would I have done the same. But the debt collector was not making new tenants life difficult. First enquiry, and my contact details given away. In theory, is this a breach of the GDPR rules? I'm curious  

 

Debts been settled as soon as the fst debt collector contacted me

No it's not a breach

Thank you for answering the original question without the judgement hat on.

Much appreciated.

@bitemarx Not a breach of GDPR because the new tenant is not a "data processor". GDPR doesn't apply to what we do in our everyday private lives, only to, essentially, companies and organisations.

not a debt collector but a Bailiff.....

dont forget to update DVLA and any debt owners on your credit file too.

update them in writing. else backdoor CCJ 's might appear
