    Consent is a red herring if a company has another reason to hold and process your data.

    Where it gets interesting is the removal of the £10 for a SAR - so you can demand all the information held about you for free and in addition as others have already mentioned, not correctly updating information when informed of an address change, for example, could result in large fines.

    We should all blitz the parking scum for free SAR's - tie them up in knots and cost them a fortune!

    Can someone post the direct link that clarifies that a SAR is free, please?

    .
    Agreed - and what I had been trying to say.
    I think for a non POFA NTK, the PPCs would rely on 'legitimate interests' in 1(f).
    Noted. Although it doesn't really matter insofar as they can show a reason to process data and we all agree that (at least in principle) they will be able to show that.

    Do bear in mind that the duty is not unfettered. There are controls to stop abuse. But if everyone applied that would be an additional burden, yes.

    Can we charge a fee?
    In most cases you cannot charge a fee to comply with a subject access request.

    However, as noted above, where the request is manifestly unfounded or excessive you may charge a “reasonable fee” for the administrative costs of complying with the request.

    'Genuine' seems to be the operative word. Because until a debt is adjudicated (or agreed) as owed, there can be no 'genuine' creditor - surely?


    No. I think that there would be a presumption that an asserted debt is a genuine claim until it's adjudicated upon and dismissed. Otherwise all creditors (including honest ones) would be seriously disadvantaged. Processing/retention of data in relation to a claimed debt has to be a legitimate reason, even if it's a PPC!

    I believe that we need to detail how the adventurous amongst us can use GDPR to set up the PPC and then extract cash from them.


    I started another thread months ago, titled Maxing Out the Counterclaim [aka Make the Scum sorry they got out of bed today].....and I believe that DPA and GDPR can really help us in this matter.


    Can some of the erudite people on here lay out how we could make sure the PPC trip up and how we then stomp all over them [and get paid for doing so]...

    Sounds like the start of a plan.

    Certainly I plan to change the NEWBIES thread next week to tell everyone with a:

    - PCN
    - debt letter
    - LBC
    - claim

    ...to always, always send a SAR. People are entitled to it. EVERY SINGLE TIME.

    This will mean PPCs will have to deal with SARs as well as appeals for every case, and still get no money from any person who posts or lurks here, and the silent readers too, and their families.

    Spread the word, the PPC 'SAR bomb campaign' is coming.

    People should go the same to any firm that offers no service. I can think of a few who deserve it.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
