Another Log Book Loan story.
An interesting twist on what you have all heard before.
My brother gets a call from a guy claiming he has an old vehicle of his that has just tried to be repossessed. Although the vehicle does actually have an outstanding loan it has an arrangement to pay but he doesnt want to cause this new owner any bother but wonders how this guy got his details. Seems the repo guy passed all my brothers account details to this new owner and left it with him. Eh? data protection??
After trying to resolve the issue with LBL he gets another call two days later. A guy living over a hundred miles away is able to tell my brother all his account details, where he lives and the colour of his front door. How? Whilst trying to do another repo the same repo guy leaves his little black book behind containg all the personal information of EIGHTY different clients. Trading standards have gone mental which led to a Government body dealing in Data protection to bust a blood vessel and quite rightly he has his solicitor on the case. Solicitor firstly said to clear the debt so a meeting on a garage forecourt was arranged to pass over the full payment. Yep, suspect I know but my brother camcordered the whole event and even got the repo guy to acknowledge everything on camera. Very amusing. So now everyone is happy and the long slog begins in suing the backside off the repo guys and possibly LBL for a major breach of data protection. For all the complaints I've seen on here, are you sure your details were not passed to the new owner by an incompetent repo clerk?
