Is using government data to trace a creditor illegal?

from Couple of questions (coupleofquestions@hotmail.com)
Hi I've recently been traced for an old mortgage shortfall. It seems highly likely the debt/trace agency found me via a connection that is only recorded on government databases. Please does anyone KNOW if it is legal to use government data for private/commercial purposes? Am I entitled to request details from a government agency, under the Data Protection Act or similar, to see whether they have passed data to a private 3rd party?

Many thanks!
