Depends...you are probably limited to a certain file size by your I.S.P. You may be trying to send attachements that are too large.

I believe that depending on your state law, usually its 30 days after you send out notice. I know the most you can give is 90 days. Make sure to keep proof that you sent them out notices and they repeatly ignored all attempts to contact them. Or if you don't know what your state law is, I would store the items for awhile until you find out. Usually its 30 days but laws are different now so dont want to say it is 100%.

Well it really depends on which computer your sending it to. If it is to a friend then try rapidshare.de its a great file hosting website and your friend could download it after you upload it on to there. How ever if its a computer in your network system area. Just put it in your shared documents and have them get it from there.

Logically, your employer has nothing to do with somebody losing a laptop. If the laptop belonged to the company, for sure the employer is not "letting" others lose his property, unfortunately it happens. \nIf somebody else lost the laptop that the company gave you to work with - then it's your loss.\nIf somebody else lost their laptop and it had your information on it - if you want to sue, then sue the person who lost the laptop.

I have attended Data Protection Training today and i asked the trainer this question for you.He told me that under the data protection act you cannot be informed of the addresses or whereabouts of your previous carers as this information is protected under the act and is classified as confidential.He explained that on occaision a person has wanted the same info to exact revenge or harrass the carer because of ill feeling.I am sure this is not the case with you but as foster carers are agents of an organisation they are entitled to this protection under the act and anyone who submits this information is breaking the law and can be sued if damage and distress is caused to the carer as a result of passing on contact details.However i was told that once you access your files and this has to be applied for in writing and you still wish to make contact with your ex carers a message can be passed on to them via the local authority that were responsible for you saying you want to get in touch and then it is up to the carers if they wish to do this.I would suggest that you leave your contact details with a message with the manager of the child care team who you were under and ask them to pass this on to your carers.I don,t think you need to access your files to do this.Ask the manager to confirm once he or she has done this then wait and see if the carers respond.Be prepared incase the carers have moved and cannot be located this way but i wish you every success in your search.

You have a case there, yes.\n\nBasically, you need to begin logging the events (a notebook with timely, dated entries are sufficient).  Also note any communications you have had with your company to get the problem fixed.\n\nYou should report the problem to the company, and the company should deal with it.  If the problem persists, you may have a claim against the company, or the individual (although I doubt that the penalties against an individual are very severe, unless the person is in a position of power.)\n\nSo work with your COMPANY to get it resolved.  Don't try to take it up with the individual.  And keep meticulous notes.

you make out the required paper work and it is sent to you.  It shouldn't take longer than 10-12 days, but then again who is to say how fast the governement responds to your request?  I once had a request taken care of IMMEDIATELY and I fainted dead away.

Try uploading it again. It should be approved more quickly.

it depends from the country you are. in some countries it takes even months and years.I know that in US it takes long enough...in EU it takes 10 days to 6 months. To know exactly the time you should go ask the office where your folder is, they might give you an approximate time. For sure don't wait till they call you. Good luck to both of you!

tell them to put in writing, this normally will quench an over zealous company; ask them by detailing exactly what you have allegedly done. As mentioned criminal acts can still be pursued with no time limits at all.

what type of files are they that you have created using publisher, are they images or are they html files or what exactly, maybe you can zip it all up and upload it to some webspace or something , email me it and i will have a look at it :)\n\nOther then that i think it may be your associations ie your file associations :)

you have the right to ask for it.  go to HR dept, and ask for it.  it is a standard employee /recruitment procedure.  the guy who takes care of your documentation probably very busy or too lazy.  yo have to get it, cause it may not be on your best interest if you have problems with your employement, without proper documents.. it is your fault, as much as the company;s fault for failure to obtain those documents/contract.

no they can't. keep all records of this and anything sent back. keep a log of when you talked to them. who you talked to, there id number and phone number. keep a log of how much you send, when you sent it and when it was sent back. then when you are able to talk w/ a lawyer and have them send it legal papers
