That is correct as Plus.net say that you cannot pick and choose which parts of the T's and C's you wish to follow. It's basically all or nothing.

"That is complete tosh, clearly a breech of the DATA Protection ACT, which I will address tomorrow."

I just checked my old accounts and the card numbers are starred out. Does the appearance of card numbers mean that they still hold the original details?

I would assume they are starred out just like your receipt when you go to Asda.

If they are redundant, then there is no need to keep the expiry date etc, or even the numbers that are not starred out.

I would like to see some confirmation or infact reason as to why these details are still there.

Do you have any referrals as I believe they use Credit Card details to pay same?

Looking at the options available in the portal it's a good bet they're still there. One way to check would be to buy anti-virus on your PAYG account.

Looking at the payment details there should be an option to delete payment sources and there is nothing. Other portals I use all have that option for payment sources. How does this apply to accounts with online retailers? They hold your payment details until the card has expired.

Both my accounts have been inactive for 16 months now and I've never dialed in to use them, but I do use fetchmail (yes, I'm using the latest version) to pull any mail from them. I'd have deleted the accounts if I wasn't getting any revenue from them.

Nope.

My account should not be there, full stop. I disagreed with the terms and conditions when they changed them ages ago.
