    Wrong on both counts. Where do you get this from ??

    Do read the post above by Half_way, sums it up completely
    Points missed .... who cares if they cover their costs, it's
    nothing to do with that .... or taxpayers money

    Can't you see the contradiction in those two statements.

    What nobody seems to have mentioned thus far is that there are crimnal penalties already in place if keeper details obtained from the DVLA are misused, as this chapfound to his cost.

    And he will have most likely got the data via a paper enquiry.

    NO contradiction ..... this is not about how they get information
    it is about Data being given to unregulated companies

    Oh yes the chap paid the price but was given DVLA access
    after 44 days, thanks to the BPA

    This thread is about Data and not about how or when or
    costs etc .... do you work for the DVLA ???

    £100 is prescribed in law (legislation) however the DVLA are able to increase cost to PRIVATE companies whenever they wish

    perhaps an increase to £50 (cash) would reduce the Robo requests , however the BPA / IPC would have to tighten up on multi claims after one request , anyone doing this should be banned by the DVLA for a period of not less than 27 yrs

    The prescribed figure would obviously have to be revisited, but it will never happen because the treasury and NAO would never allow the DVLA to charge on anything but a full cost recovery basis and no more.
  • lets get serious , does it "really" cost the DVLA £27 to print a replacement v5

    This thread has nothing to do with this ..... It's data being
    given to unregulated companies

    You really must read these articles properly.
    Quoted from that article ...

    "The DVLA suspended OPC from accessing drivers’ details electronically, as the BPA carried out an investigation into the firm but just 44 days later, the trade body gave OPC a clean bill of health and the DVLA lifted the suspension."
