No.
The data protection principles referred to in the DPA don't apply to disclosures made in connection with legal proceedings under Part IV, section 35 of the act.
Sorry to disagree. S35 is about disclosure.
A Data Controller may make a disclosure for the purposes of legal proceedings, they are not obliged to.
It does not absolve the Data Controller of their responsibilities to ensure the information is accurate & up to date when they make the disclosure.
I had this out with my lease car company in the good all days before POFA. Why did they hand over my information,
How did they know who the driver was - they didn'tPrivate Parking Tickets - Make sure you put your Subject Access Request in after 25th May 2018 - It's free & ask for everything, don't forget the DVLA

Yeah, it's easy enough for them to confirm the details are up to date, before starting court action, even if you had an initial response.
Of course, forcing them to take court action within a reasonable time frame, like 6-12 months, would make it far less of an issue.
The longer they wait the more likely it is that the victim has changed address. Kerching.I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.0 -
This was featured on today's Moneybox programme on Radio 4. They had somebody from CAG on there together with that guy from Cambridge who is trying to start a class action.
The programme read out a statement from the association that represents debt collection companies which said that only a "very small proportion" of people get default CCJ's . They would say that, would't they?
You can here this on the BBC iplayer. It's the first item on the programme.What part of "A whop bop-a-lu a whop bam boo" don't you understand?0 -

Your MP is living behind the times and in cloud 9. He really is out of touch
If this was me I would be telling the MP that his lack of interest and attempting to fob off means one thing .... NO VOTE FOR YOU.
I do hope that Mrs May weedles out these MP's who show no interest ..... this does her party no good whatsoever.
I would also send a copy of his letter to Mrs May with your comments. If she is not told, she will never know and you are probably not the only one being fobbed off by this MP
I sent this to the MP
"You seem to have little interest in contributing to the removing of
the injustices and unfair treatment being meted out to motorists. This
largely due to your own government's bad laws.
As I am sure you will appreciate you will be looking to get my vote in
the not too distant future and bearing this in mind I have sent the
following to Mrs May."
"Dear Mrs May
Firstly my belated congratulations on your achieving the position of
Prime Minister.
The real reason for this email is to draw your attention to the way
that the Private parking Companies and their debt collecting associates
are harranging people with their half truths in support of parking
charges for alleged infringements some of which were committed several
years ago prior to the POFA of 2012 when the prevailing advice
(including that from a well known BBC programme) was to ignore them
unless they could positively identify the driver and not the keeper.
These companies who purport to be reputable legal companies are trying
to use the assumed ignorance of the law to get people to pay the
ridiculous charges that they are demanding.
There are several web sites which illustrate the extent of the problem
but it is only the tip of the iceberg shown there. Most ordinary
people will be paying up in the light of the threats being made. A lot
of people cannot afford this level of cash from their meagre savings or
income.
I am at the moment trying to assist a Carer lady who attends to my
wife. This lady's car was in a car park in 2011 long before the POFA.
She is now being pestered for money by a company called bwlegal.
These debt collectors know that at that time the driver of the vehicle
could not be identified and could have been anyone of four or five
people who unknowingly infringed.
This persecution of ordinary people really has to stop. Neither the
amazingly unfair verdict of the Supreme Court in the Parking Eye v
Beavis case or the POFA have helped. All they have done is encouraged
these concerns to greater efforts in extorting money from people.
I came to you because I have tried contacting my MP and Oliver Heald
but both show little interest. (I assume that you do want a
conservative Victory in 2020?)"
Got this in return
"Sir Alan has been informed of your response and letter to the Prime
Minister. However, until the results of the discussion paper are
published he regrets he is not in a position to comment further on the
contents of your email."
So I went back;
"In other words he is not even interested in passing a constituent's
concern along to the dept headed by Sir Oliver Heald that deals with
this kind of thing.
Sadly just living up to the impression that most of the public has of
MP's these days.
Well he's had it for my vote next time around and probably a few of my
friends when I tell them of this story."
I'm not expecting big things but it makes me feel a biy better.0 -

Who is your MP please, might as well let everyone know how useless he is. (don't worry they don't lock you up nowadays)
"However, until the results of the discussion paper are
published he regrets he is not in a position to comment further"
THEN GET THEM PUBLISHED AND STOP DRAGGING YOUR HEELS
The discussion paper he refers to is over a year old, the government is dragging their heels and as each day goes by everyone wonders if their is financial interest for someone ???
Keep on at Mrs May especially about the sad lack of attention shown by her MP's, does not make her look good0 -

PROUD TO SERVE YOU
I am proud to be representing Rutland & Melton as your Member of Parliament.
Please do contact my constituency or parliamentary office if you would like to raise any issues of local or national importance.
Clearly Sir Alan does NOT think scamming motorists is important.
I wonder if Theresa May knows about his failure to his voters ???
Promoted to the Foreign Office July 2016, so I wonder what Boris would make of his lack of interest ??
Really not certain where "PROUD TO SERVE YOU" comes from ??0 -
Hi,
I am a journalist at the Daily Mail and have been writing this week about people who have unfairly had CCJs passed against them without being warned or having any chance to defend themselves.
I spoke to David today about how this is happening to NHS patients and staff who park at hospitals.
Please be in touch if this has happened to you and you are willing to speak to me about it in more detail for the Daily Mail.
Thanks,
Paul Bentley
