Hello. I'm a freelance designer working as a limited company. I sub-contract work out to other freelancers too. I've recently had a letter from ICO saying I need to pay a fee regarding data security and whatnot. I know the company address, phone number and email of the people I deal directly and nothing else.

Do I need to pay this? What am I getting for this fee? Why do I need to pay this? 

Can someone please advise? Thanks in advance. Andy.

Please see my post there (reply #4) where you will find a self assessment to decide if you need to pay

That was my thread -

I bit the bullet and filled in the DD form on the last day of January, but they have such a backlog that they haven't actioned the payment yet!!!
