DVLA loses money on PPC's

True, but PPCs who wish to access data electronically have to stump up a few thousand to have a dedicated terminal and line installed, so that the data isn't passed through normal internet or even intranet channels.It ought to have been possible to bolt the KADOE system on for a few tens-of-thousands, but since this is a government agency they probably blew millions on it, especially if they got those p|sstakers at EDS to do it.
That's why smaller fry like Perky still use the paper forms.
I have been providing assistance, including Lay Representation at Court hearings (current score: won 57, lost 14), to defendants in parking cases for over 5 years. I have an LLB (Hons) degree, and have a Graduate Diploma in Civil Litigation from CILEx. However, any advice given on these forums by me is NOT formal legal advice, and I accept no liability for its accuracy.0 -

In a world where even credit card transactions are routinely processed through the internet that is exactly the kind of bullsh|t technology consultants flog to gullible (or well-lunched, or both) civil servants for no reason other than to inflate the price.Je suis Charlie.0 -

Bur making PPCs pay through the nose for this service is no bad thing. If I want to find out who is parking on my land it can take up to 4 weeks for the DVLA to send me the information and it will cost me £5.00You never know how far you can go until you go too far.0

Agreed, if they are going to flog our data to anyone who asks for it they ought at least to charge a commercial rate to commercial customers.Je suis Charlie.0 -
Oops, fixed - Robert Toft is the peddler, perpetuating the myth.
