PPI - Breach of personal data query?

Not sure where to put this question so here goes...

I sent off a PPI claim to a credit card company who replied not to me, but to my son who has no financial links with me, & doesn't even live here. They addressed it to him by name, but included my card & claim details.

Is this a data breach, and if so, what of exactly, so that I can include it in my complaint?

Thank you for reading, any help is appreciated.

    Yes it is a breach of DPA, you have been told this. You dont need to keep posting the same posts.

    However, this is a seperate issue to any PPI mis-sale issue. If you are unhappy you need to make a seperate complaint.
