Total number of birthdates set to the low date
C. Gray made this Official Information request to Inland Revenue Department
This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for C. Gray to read recent responses and update the status.
From: C. Gray
Dear Inland Revenue Department,
Recently, you had an issue with individuals' birthdates being incorrectly set as the 01-01-1900 - a low date within your system. You mentioned that this affected few people, but you didn't give any specific absolute count or ratio with total records.
Are you able to provide a count of the records that are set to the low date? Of those, are you able to provide a count of those that are incorrect, and a description of how you determined that? Are you able to provide a total count of the records in that system so that an error rate could be determined?
Yours faithfully,
Concerned citizen
