    So you would say this is the right thing to send them?

    I am thinking of still sending a letter as I can get work to send it anyway and don't want them harassing me by email too! ha ha

    Please don't ask about your own case on someone else'd thread, it's unfair and confusing.

    Hi Coupon Mad - Sorry, I am new to forums. I thought this was the right move as my case is exactly the same and I have received the same letters, the last letter I received is exactly the same as the one Yiannage posted previously.

    My hope was that if this was the right letter to send then it would also benefit Yiannage.

    You can cross reference to help this OP but are best starting your own thread, even about the same letter/details. That way we don't get confused as to who we are helping, dates of event/letters, etc., which are never the same.

    Morning All,

    Thank you all so far for all your help - it really is so appreciated!

    I!!!8217;ve received this morning my copy of the information request sent from the dvla stating they want to !!!8220;contact the driver to request payment!!!8221;

    So (& please direct me if I!!!8217;m wrong!) but my next step is to email them to let them know they are misusing my data and I!!!8217;m not happy and considering a counter claim should they continue to harass me!

    Forum glitch.

    So, please switch off the 'Smart Punctuation' on your iPhone/iPad to avoid clogging up your posts with !!!!8820; and the like. Every apostrophe used converts to exclamation marks and numbers.

    Go to 'General' > 'Keyboard' > 'Smart Punctuation' and flick the switch off.

    Switching off seems to have no negative affect on any other use of the keyboard.
    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.

    My understanding is that they have not yet misused your data... they have used it to contact you as keeper to ask if you can reveal the driver.

    If they were to take you as keeper to court or give your details to a third party, then they misuse your data and the distress this causes may lead to your decision to counterclaim.

    That and how their letter is not compliant to chase a debt.

    Ah I see....so is it worth contacting them to say if they pursue me in court they will be misusing my data - or just wait it out?

    Thank you again for the help!

    I think it was my continual informing them of this fact that eventually got them to realise I wasn't messing around.

    Morning All,


    Was thinking of firing off an email this morning now that ive got the info from the DVLA but was wondering how involved it had to be - or whether something similar to below would suffice?


    "Good Morning,


    I have recently received correspondence from you regarding the above PCN.


    I have also received a copy of your information request from the DVLA which clearly states you requested my information to "contact driver to request payment"


    As the DVLA records will tell you - I am the registered KEEPER - therefore any further harassment from your company could result in me pursuing a counter claim against you for misusing my information.


    Kind Regards
