Sorry for the weird title, not sure what to class this as:
Story, I sold a digital item to a company, I accidently activated a
recovery system and it was returned to me. When they emailed, they
asked for ID or they will proceed with legal matters.
As this was an accident, I was more than willing to give them what they
asked, but I watermarked my ID - Making it impossible / hard to recover
without watermark. They E-Mailed me back asking for no watermarks, I
asked why. Many emails later I got them to admit they had planned to
email my ID to a 3rd party company pretending to be me to get the
matter sorted out.
Would the "Other Party" using my ID assuming to be myself be legal ?
(Specially without my knowledge, or permission)
Also, giving my information a another company without my permission (ID
contained DOB/Address/Name(Was driviving license)
-PS
I understand I was wrong to activate a recovery of an item I sold,
altho accidental still wrong. The main problem with all this being it
was a RTM digital item, but it is against the ToS/ToC of the company
who owns the digital item to trade it.
So, you tried to go around the terms and conditions you agreed to,
then cocked up and as a result, you're $135 up on the deal, while the
other party is down $135.
The only thing you can do legally is return the money.
Letting them use your Id to pretend to be you would put yourself at
high risk, and be deliberate breach of contract.
Keeping the money will be theft.
