DVLA MISUSE OF PERSONAL DATA UNDER GDPR - GROUP ACTION - NO WIN, NO FEE

patient_dream

We must NOT forget the  UKPC saga where they doctored phohots ?
UKPC just got a ban and were allowed to obtain data from the DVLA thereafter

We don't know how many fraud attempts were made by UKPC and how many people paid. 

Why would a UKPC operative do this unless they were on commission

Any such attempt to defraud people is a ploice matter ... did that happen ?

UKPC should have been struck off for life but, the DVLA still provided data

One Parking Solution directors were convicted of dishonesty offence

And have also failed a very recent GIAA audit. The clowns are currently pursuing my 84 year old Father-in-Law for a dubious residential PCN. Sadly he isn't the RK otherwise I woud not have hesitated throwing his case into the pot.

Has his name been added to the Group Action against the DVLA, Molts?

I know you will have done, or will be about to do, the Government Consultation and I'm sure your friends and relatives have, too.

Literally no motorist can honestly say that they do not find PPC World a threat, or that they don't know someone who has had one, or ten, private PCNs when going about normal daily life.  It's a blight on Society, the way PPCs are being allowed to get away with what they do to people and the predatory way they operate.

I've filed one. Should I do a separate one for each PCN?

Molts

Has his name been added to the Group Action against the DVLA, Molts?

Yes, but I don't think he'll be eligible as he wasn't the RK on this occasion...his previous one is too old. I have a couple of others I have assisted I will approach for their permission to add.

I know you will have done, or will be about to do, the Government Consultation and I'm sure your friends and relatives have, too.

Certainly have. About midway through. Will submit it in plenty of time before the deadline!

It seems to me that the Group Action won’t help company car drivers/car hirer’s etc. as their data will have been supplied to the PPC by a Registered Keeper which is usually a company?

Correct, the group action is only concerned with cases where a PPC has obtained an individual's personal data from the DVLA.

It will not apply to company cars or hired cars, nor will it apply in cases where the recipient of a PCN contacted the PPC and gave them his name and address details so that they didn't have to apply to the DVLA.

No. Official bodies, such as Councils, Police, etc., get the data free of charge.

This action is all about the DVLA selling data to private parking firms.

I thought that was the case
