Notify old employer of name and address of new employer?

[showryder]

So I have just switched employers from one tier 2 visa to another. My previous employer was horrible and made threats to tell my new employer about a chronic health problem I have that does not effect my working. I have refused to disclose to them the name of my new employer. They have now sent me a email saying that they need to give my new employers name and address to the home office when they cancel my visa. Is this true? I already have a new Visa and will start with my new employer next week.

Never heard of this. If you already have a new Visa, HO will already have the details of your new employer from your CoS, so not sure why they would require previous employer to provide them the details.

Not true, they have no reason to have your new employer details. All they have to do is inform ho they are no longer your sponsors on the SMS.

Obviously ho know already who your new sponsor is as they granted you a visa.

You might also want to advise them of the GDPR laws and that they are prohibited from sharing any information about you without your explicit consent.

You might also want to advise them that harassment is a criminal offence in the UK.
