Legal Question in Technology Law in District of Columbia
Computer Data
If a computer repair firm, which compensated me instead of fixing my
computer, sold that computer with my
data on it without giving my an option
to erase the data myself, would I have
legal recourse?

Re: Computer Data
By compensating you, I assume that you received money
from the repair shop in return for your not receiving your repaired computer back.
If so, as to the repair shop's disposing of the unit without giving you an opportunity to erase the data, my only question would be: how were you provably damaged by this oversight?
If you have no credible answer then you would have no legal recourse (in my opinion).
