I know E*Trade because my employer uses them to allow staff to buy and sell
internal stock through it. They are an online equity/options trading house
among other things, based in the USA.
That THEY are bona fide is one thing. That they have your frined's details
is another

Howdy Folks,
My flatmate (also called Matt incidentally) yesterday got a letter from
a US
company called E*Trade Securities asking him about his current address.
The
letter was sent to our current address and shows that one as his old
address
and his new one (on their records) is a combination of two addresses he
lived at between 3 and 1 year ago. It asks him to confirm his address
and
write back to an address in Boston, Mass.
Matt and I have no idea who this company are and I wondered if they were
a
US equivalent of Equifax and Experian. If anyone has any experience of
this
company, could you please let me know who they are and what they do.
Matt
is quite happy for them to have his details if they have it for bona
fide
reasons but if they don't, is there any way he can get his details
removed
for their database? Normally on things like this I am quite happy to
spout
chapter and verse on the DPA to Matt but because its a US company I
don't
know where he stands, or even if he has a stand!
Any help is much appreciated
Regards
Matthew
