in Parking tickets, fines & parking
We all know our disgust with the DVLA providing details to so called trade association members, especially the cowboy run IPC

What is the legality regarding Data protection when a PPC passes your details to a 3rd party being a so called debt collector who then go on to harass people

    Why do you ask? Have you asked the ICO for a definitive view on the matter as their opinion is the only one that counts.

    Doesn't mean they do not know. Hint: They do and they have given the DVLA the "rules".

    So why not ask them.

    Of course a debtors details can be passed on to a 3rd-party otherwise a DCA or solicitor would have no way of chasing the debt on behalf of their client

    Yes, fully understand that when an actual debt exists.

    With the PPC as said many times on here, it is a speculative invoice and the only time it can be ruled as a debt is if a judge says so
