KADOE Contract and Data Protection Impact Assessments
I made an FOIA request to the DVLA asking for any DPIAs associated with their KADOE contract with three parking management companies. Their response was to send a redacted DPIA from when they migrated their service to the new KADOE API (Application Programming Interface) in 2022/3. It is an interesting read (100 plus…

Parked for 5 minutes and 23 seconds, but can I even make an independent appeal?
First, apologies for asking something that I appreciate has probably been answered elsewhere. I've read the Newbie thread but found it a bit overwhelming and the bother of this is making it hard for me to consider the matter clearly. I realise that's my problem, and not the problem of the kind person who took the time to…

GEMINI / APCOA PCN journey
Hi all, Just wanted to start a thread to record this journey. I had parked in a car park for 4 hours - my first 2 hour payment did not go through which i did not realise at that point. When I went to extend it, that is when I realised and so I paid for those two hours, plus an extra 2 hours which covered the four hour…

Electric Cooker Faulty
We've got a Smeg dual fuel cooker that was in the house when we bought it. I think it's about 9 years old. I was cooking yesterday, and the circuit it's on tripped off with the main RCD going off for that circuit. We've got 2 main circuits on the consumer unit. After about half an hour working out what the issue was (as we…

London Aquatics Centre - Parking Eye - Urgent Defence
Hiya, I received a claim for parking in a leisure centre car park from Parking Eye. I do have a strong case as I did pay (proof shown on my wallet on my iphone). But upon getting the PCN I checked my actual bank statement and saw it did not go through. Possibly a fault with the system but anyway I think I have reasonable…

Probate - grateful for a sanity check !
Scenario: Parent A and Parent B now deceased. The house deeds show them as 'Tenants in Common' with a life interest trust if I've understood the terminology correctly. Somewhat simplified by having a single beneficiary (child) who is also the executor and trustee. When Parent A died (Feb 2026), as far as I can see no…

Chargeback after switching?
I bought a £59 dash cam online yesterday without doing my due diligence. I have since learned that it is a probable 90% scam, my bad and unusual for me to do that.. I paid from Apple Pay from my First Direct bank account. I called the bank as I could see the payment was pending and asked if they could cancel the payment.…

"Local Energy Advisor" spam calls
I've been on the TPS for decades and it's reduced spam calls no end, but obviously some people still ignore it. As well as the "bank security department" scams, which probably originate outside the country, one persistent annoyance is the "local energy advisor" calls. These have been going on for years and should have been…

A new royal start
I mmmed and ahhhed about whether to start a diary on here or not. However, my head hurts with all my internal planning, so I thought I'd give it a go! I cannot promise excitement though! So here goes... we bought our house almost 6 years ago now and stretched ourselves quite a bit to get it (in the expensive South). I…

2026 Sharps Wardrobes: premium price, budget experience?
The surveys and sales process were excellent—then the actual work began. Delivery brought colourful language, an obstructed road and materials dropped hard enough to be concerned my cottage may become Open Plan without intent. Installation involved 1 very poorly fitter (bless him he did his utmost) and then a 2nd, enough…
