That's not what the DPA says.
See https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1998/29/section/13.
The DPA breach in the Op's situation does not concern any of the 'special purposes' referred to in that section.
I am aware that this section needs to be read by reference to recent case law but that's getting to be a bit too much detail for these purposes.0 -

People have obtained that level of award from private parking companies for the misuse of their personal data....no actual damage but still got the award....
Can't remember the exact phrase used...but essentially says its an automatic tort or something similar...
It may not be relevant to the OP...but I'm sure they can go away and research it further and come back and let us know the results...0
