I see so they can pick and choose what membership/body they use depending on the site etc.

I thought only bpa members could get dvla data?

Nope ... any member of an approved body's Approved Operator Scheme can access DVLA data.

There used to be only one - BPA - but the IPC set up a rival scheme and they and their AOS received approval. (God knows how, but it did).

£6.31 receipt timed 16.41 mot sure homebase will like it but I will email them.

Is it worth sending the receipt with the IPC standard stating our driver was a customer and here is proof?

No, not at all. They can only be members of one AOS, and G24 are members of the IPC AOS. That they are also (non-AOS) members of the BPA is no more relevant than them being corporate members of, say, their local golf club.

You thought wrong. There are two DVLA Accredited Trade Associations, the BPA and the IPC, and members of either AOS are entitled to plunder the DVLA database (accredited, that is, by an opaque process which involves no mandatory accreditation criteria whatsoever and is presumably based on how good a lunch they buy for the DVLA executives).

That's the acronym I was trying to remember ... ATA.

[FONT=&quot]Dear G24 Ltd
Re PCN number:

[FONT=&quot]STD TEMPLATE!!!!![/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Finally our driver spent time as a genuine customer in the Homebase Branch of New Malden browsing the range of kitchens. He took some brochures away and made a purchase of which a receipt is attached as proof of patronage. We will also send this proof to Homebase suggesting if they wish to retain our custom th[FONT=&quot]is[/FONT] notice should be cancelled immediately.

Yours faithfully,[/FONT]

The receipt showing a small purchase was successful in getting one charge canceled. So worth sending in even if small potatoes and long time stayed.

Our driver went back the next week though before the 1st notice landed and stayed more than 90 mins without purchase but he is willing to pay the charge.

they have responded with standard letter mentioning POPLA

I don't think it will mention POPLA. G24 are IPC members.
