    The garage were I have took my car to for repairs were I was a customer has disclosed all my information to the Defendant without my consent. The repairing garage has done a statement for the Defendant (which I have not seen) stating the repairs I have had carried out as I have now found out they are friends with each other. 
    Surely you submitted the list of work that was needed as part of your claim?
  • I hope it goes well for you today. There are not many people that stand up for their rights against dodgy dealers. Please let us know the outcome?

    Yes I did. 

    It still doesn’t negate the fact that a garage has disclosed personal information about me without my consent.  The garage was well
    aware we were in the middle of court proceedings. I was their customer

    Great. So the defendent to the claim doesn't have any more information than was in your claim.

    According to the defendent, who may well be lying.

    Anyway, even if they have, so what?
    It makes precisely zero difference to the claim against the vendor. It isn't even part of your claim against the vendor.
    Yes, it's possibly a GDPR breach - albeit impossible to prove.

    What would I do? Make a mental note never to use that garage again (if you haven't already), and move on with life.

    If you really feel like it, then report them to the ICO's office.

    But they won't ever get round to doing anything about it, because it's trivial, unprovable, and - like the rest of the mildly-inconvenient-to-this-government public sector - they are under-funded, under-resourced, and have a lot of far bigger things on their plate.

    Pick your battles. Get the claim against the vendor out of the way, and save your blood pressure for important things in life. Gawd knows there's enough of them currently.
