Who is to know that someone on the forum is not a representative of the authorities?  Even cyberwalls have ears!

From Brittany Ferries webiste under "Security and Privacy"

"We reserve the right to use or disclose any information without notice or consent as needed to satisfy any law, regulation or legal request; to conduct investigations of consumer complaints or possible breaches of law; to protect the integrity of our site and our property; to protect the safety of our visitors or others; to fulfill your requests; or to cooperate in any legal investigation."

Probably something similar on all the airline sites and the T&C's of your credit card and mobile phone provider.

I know that MOH's former employer ( a government agency) had access to all these details - in the case of cashpoint usage they sometimes did it in almost real time.

"I have had experience of the UK authorities knowing exactly where,when and how we visited France before we moved here legitimately a long time ago,it was a huge shock and they even had the numbers of the ferry bookings.Everytime you book a ticket to anywhere, that info is passed on and here in France,again everything is noted and also passed on.The only way not to get noticed is by stowing away and never using a bank or service in France."

So everytime anyone in the UK or in France travels abroad that information is passed on?  And to whom? Absolute rubbish. 

 


I'll thank you not to say that. It was the local tax office actually when they were doing a crackdown on all the building firms in the town where we lived prior to moving here and I am not a liar because I was there with my OH and our accountant at that time squirming everytime any relevence to France was bought up.They had our passport numbers and the dates of every sailing for the previous years of travelling, so there!

Not passed on, just recorded.  You seem to know a lot about how to duck and dive Dr, the same as a lot of occasional posters who never reveal where they live and surface from time to time on here, often full of crap advice for others about how to dodge this and that without thinking for one second of the consequences to the other person.  In most cases it also turns out they know little about French life, laws, rules, procedures or living.

So for the time being,  if someone who lives here, runs a business here and represents her commune says something that you say is rubbish, I will have no problem in deciding who might be really talking rubbish.


Why not post a sensible answer, people will appreciate it more

I have first hand knowledge of this, a friend who used to stay sometimes in a house I owned in France (this was in the 90's)  was called to go into his local tax office in the UK and they knew exactly the dates and number of times that he had traveled to France.

I (in common with many others, no doubt) have a new "chipped" passport, which I have watched being scanned every time I go through the tunnel.  These days, it doesn't take rocket science for the "powers that be" to join up the dots.

This is the statement that was made:

"Everytime you book a ticket to anywhere, that info is passed on and here in France,again everything is noted and also passed on."

That is rubbish , it simply does not happen.  Information is available upon request if an investigation is conducted by the authorities.  But that is not the same as everyone's travel patterns being routinely disclosed.  If an old lady wishes to visit relatives and happens to spend a little over six months a year doing so then the chances of being found out are minimal.  It is a risk but other postings give the impression that the gendarmes will be round on day 184.
