TalkTalk kept my email account active for 8 years after I left – now it's spamming my mates

>Maybe a request for "Right to Erasure" would do the trick?

But requires "two forms of valid ID" - suspect this is what was being asked of Joanne.

Interestingly, I note from the report of Daniel Gibbs investigation that clearly Joanne had simply "walked away" from the account all those years ago; otherwise, the addressbook would have been empty as would have been the email folders. I would hope that Daniel did clean out all the personal information.
