Update on General data Protection Regulations due to hit in may 2018

 

There is a overt permission of Data Subject to consent to processing of data, so a CRA processing John Doe's data without him knowing could fall foul. Likewise a DCA. Full implications are not yet known

Subject Access Requests will be free.

 

Today in the UK we can demand that organisations reveal what they hold on us for £10. Under GDPR these requests will be free and that change might encourage an already ongoing boom in these requests because many individuals are deterred by having to pay even this small sum. Cordery’s Armstrong says subject access requests are ten times more common than two years ago in the UK. He believes that they could be used to disrupt targeted organisations with protest groups potentially coming together to create hundreds or thousands of coordinated challenges that act “like a DDoS attack”.

The UK is fully signed up to GDPR, and it is the Consent conundrum, as millions of people have not de facto consented to have their data handled by CRAs etc the DCA and CRA assume they have the automatic right to process the data, sadly under GDPR if someone withdraws any implied consent and carry on processing the data, they may well fall foul of GDPR and be in a bit of a pickle. and yes no doubt protest groups might target Banks and DCAs

Banks and the like may well send out the data held and if they get another SAR tell the applicant that nothing material has changed since the last application. Wastes a stamp but not a forest.

Truthfully though, how many fo these swivel eyed loons are there wo are going to casue the country's financial syatems to grind to a halt while they service these requests. i thought they ahd all ceased banking with Barclays, RBS and anyone else as a matter of conscience so no harm done to anyone other than the Co-Op bank and they are broke anyway.

The more anaerobic dca's will just ignore ot tell lies anyway and add the new applicat to their database to demand random sums from later.

And hopefully be reported to ICO and get a massive fine for breaching GDPR.

I hope- but I expect a few to just melt away and then remorph as a slightly different one. The key here is to chase the people who hire them as per Vidal-Hall v Google and VCS v Philip as well as the dca. name them both on the court claim and behaviour will change.

 

I do wonder how companies who misuse data for marketing purposes will fare- you know the sort- they claim that you didnt tick a box on p31 of their T&C's to refuse marketing from any organisation they have sold lists to o are entitled to harass you any time, day or night.

 

I am having a battle with Aviva over this, they admit they dont have any evidence of even incorrect or non-existent box ticking yet claim as they say it is true it must be. Shame they cant determine my sex or name correctly in their record search. They offered £75 compensation as long as I accept they are always right even when the paperwork sent shows they are clearly wrong.

 

Told them I would accept a box of choccies and no cash at all if their CEO just admits they have screwed up rather than blaming me. the thought of some minion having to even contact the upper floors of Head Office will probably mean no choccies and apology but an improved cash offer " as a gesture of goodwill"

You are probably right EB, but reality will bite the DCAs on the bum with GDPR.

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

Is it just me, I feel very uneasy knowing what kind of information a CRA can hold about me or anyone?

What right do they have to create a dossier about anyone?

If its in the small print of some credit application form I signed I was never made aware of it.

GDPR has made me aware of how big companies seem to be able to do what they want with my data.

I thought probably wrongly that I owned my data?

Not some multi national corporation.

 

I once asked a CRA to correct an error on my credit record to which they replied to me to prove the error.

 

This related to a Radio Rentals agreement in Northern Ireland.

I have never and still haven't ever been to Northern Ireland.

 

Just there unwillingness to correct an obvious error finished me with CRA's.

 

Anyway that's a long time ago.

I'm more interested in how GDPR pans out.

Maybe is some hope for the man in the street.

Just looked at Equifax and they say free for the first 30 days then you have to pay, does this contravene GDPR rules?

 

Could you provide a link ?

No. They sell your data back to you by offering to help you manage your data file with them for monthly fee. You can use thgis route but you must cancel before the end of the month or they will charge your card.

My understanding is that before GDPR you only had to send a request with a £1 to get your file, but now you should be able to make the request under GDPR and it should for free.
