    Apologies my sense of humour are BW not a discount legal firm😁😁😁
    Probably excellent value for PPC world, as they will be screwing over hundreds of naive motorists, traumatised by the thought of legal proceedings against them. I bet we see and help fewer than 2% of all cases. The rest either paying up, or burying their heads deep in the sand ..... and well on their way to a judgment in default CCJ which will badly screw up their lives for the following six years. 

    From a purely monetary point of view, it's a great business model.
    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

    So received a reply from the incompetent B and M legal confirming that their client obtained my details from DVLA, oh what a whopper 😊 and the £300 is still outstanding and to contact them to suggest a payment plan, so might suggest £0 😃😃

    Now to move onto part two and unleash the unequivocal evidence that their client is either lying or they want to claim DVLA are
    Ask for your payment plan to be spread out over twelve months with an initial payment of £0 plus eleven equal monthly payments of £0.

    With the information you have, I believe you could start a complaint to the ICO right now.

  • Indeed, I think that’s where I am heading but unless anyone has any other ideas, in the interim I will reply to them outlying the facts and see what BS they come up with

    I would ask them to confirm FIRST who made the statement that their client obtained data from the DVLA
    - was it BW or was it their client
    Then, when they drop their client in it, as they will, you can then show them the evidence from the DVLA confirming their client is lying to them, and tell them they should maybe check with their client as currently you have a very simple case for DPA2018 breach against them, breach of CRA2015 as they have knowingly misled a consumer, etc.

    Thanks for the response, both the original NTK's, which are both totally wrongly addressed clearly states details have been obtained via DVLA through the reasonable clause criteria etc etc  and the most recent letter via BW confirms that their clients have obtained my details from DVLA, all a provable lie.

    Im sure BW will claim they were acting in good faith under instruction from the PPC so it will be them I will have to subsequently chase to a satisfactory conclusion, and complaints in due course to the IPC and DVLA for a breach of KODE.

    I am sending a response to BW to request a meaningful reply from their client by the end of the month in relation to my allegations, and providing them with the evidence.

    Dependent on their response, I will decide on the most suitable cause of action

    Stay tuned for updates!! In due course
