county court defence: is it okay

jacqueh26

So Dpo got back to me regarding my SAR request, they had asked for proof of ID and I have them passport and utility bill. It turns out they have a different surname associated with my PCN(or maybe they made an error) because I’ve never had such a surname, they also say I have an address in Cornwall and but I have never. I’m now concerned that there maybe an identity issue  but the dpo is not replying anymore. Please read the conversation
Dpo “Many thanks for coming back to me.That address however doesn’t match.  The DVLA have provided us an address in Cornwall and a different surname which you have used in a previous email of White, so neitherWambui or Michael. Can you confirm your Cornish address you were at when the PCN was issued and provide documentation to confirm your surname as White?”

Myself : “Hello there must be an error because I’ve never been associated with the name White. Would you please tell me in what context it was used as I am now concerned? Ive also never had address in Cornwall. I did live in Exeter though.”

-This was  the last email 4 days ago and I haven’t heard back.  On Friday I got a concerning email from the company’s lawyers (bw legal) 

“Dear Miss xxx

If you have a received a N1 claim form from Northampton CCBC, you need to submit an AoS (check the NEWBIE) and start preparing your defence.  If you have not received a claim form, then BW Legal are up to their tricks again.  This was posted about sometime last week when BW Legal threatened someone with all sorts of dire consequences and it tuned out the wasn't actually a live claim form in existence.

You actually sent an unredacted copy of your passport to a scam parking firm?  Errrmmm...why?

As a claim has been issued

Crack on with using the forum's template defence and tell us the issue date of the N1 claim form and when you did the AOS?

In addition

Get onto the dvla and see when they released data and to what address they held.

The claim is real, I had a claim form and I returned an acknowledgment of service. I checked with the county court and confirmed they received it. But BW legal were  sent me an email saying that I didn’t acknowledge service so essentially I have to pay-but i guess this is just a scare tactic.  They are so evil. It got me spooked ngl, so I had to double check with county court.

What was the issue date of the claim form and what date did you submit the AoS?  Presumably you know the deadline for submitting your defence and that hasn't passed yet.  If you post those date @KeithP will be along to give you the deadline.

I sent the evidence to DPO, so shouldn’t that info be  confidential???

I’ve already done all this. I’ve followed all instructions and used the  defence template. Everything is on track I believe. Only the SAR that I haven’t gotten the stuff I requested because they wanted to send proof of a surname and address that I’ve never had. 

 I think now I need to check with DVLA why they had  “White” associated with me.

Seriously?  So you're now trusting a random person you have no knowledge of with one of the most sensitive pieces of personal information there is on the planet!

Yes, you are right.
