Benjamin Joseph

[H]

Does anyone know Benjamin Joseph? Suddenly started getting post addressed to him delivered to our address and was wondering if he lived around here and maybe was filling in forms with our address by mistake(our post code has a few options that could get confused on the automated post code systems...) or if someone is trying to set up broadband and mobile phone accounts at our address who doesn't live here! Rang one of the companies in question to ask if someone was setting up stuff at our address and got quoted the data protection act as a reason why they can't tell me. Most unhelpful.

Quote the Data Protection Act back to them as the reason why the personal data they hold must be accurate. You are helping them comply with their legal obligations by alerting them to their error and they should, at the very least, record the fact.
