Thank you all for your suggestions. Do I understand correctly that: 1. I should post the wrong letters/info to the person and inform her/him that a) this is a GDPR breach from GS and she/him can find great support from CAG if she will come forward if intending to ask for potential compensation 2. Tell GS about their mistake and that they should self-report to ICO (I will make an enquiry to check that later) probably Or should I do nothing and keep as a potential advantage in court? Would this be used in any way?

Thank you guys! @lookinforinfo thank you for the case, it seem to similar with my case which is gold. @Nicky Boy shouldn't be ICO? Personal data breaches: a guide ICO.ORG.UK For CAG I found this The Confidentiality Advisory Group (CAG) is an independent body which provides expert advice on the use of confidential patient information. This includes providing advice to us, the Health Research Authority (HRA) for research uses. It also provides advice to the Secretary of State for Health for non-research uses.

Hello beautiful people, There has been some silence over the last two months, but I received a letter from GS about two weeks ago. I didn't posted earlier as it didn't seemed to be a court claim. This letter in short, ask me to pay as their client has the right to commence Court proceedings without further reference to myself, I wonder what that means "without reference to me" would I be informed in any way or not if they bring me to court? A more interesting things was that GS posted in the envelope details for another PCN that is related to another person which implicitly shared their name, address, car registration, photos etc. can be seen in the pdf attachment here. Do you see a point for me to try and inform SRA about their mistake? Might have been the intern sending letters... Many thanks. GS letters in 2024.pdf

Happy New Year good people! I hope that you all had restful and good quality time with your loved ones. I sent the email to SRA where I raised my concern regarding the firm (GS) didn't acted transparently and acted with integrity (not sure this was precisely the motive) but I mentioned that costs for such claim should be GBP 50 and not GBP 80. However, SRA replied to me and I quote: "We have previously investigated similar concerns about the firm's Letter if Claims. I had raised queries with the firm regarding these concerns. The firm explains there has been a technical error in that the incorrect number of GBP 80 has been endorsed as the estimated solicitors and confirm it should have indicated GBP 50. The firm have taken all necessary corrective action in relation to the math field in the system which generates the estimated solicitors costs. It appears, there has been a technical error regarding the figures generated for the estimated solicitors costs. However, the firm have taken steps to correct their system to prevent similar instances arising in the future. I cannot find the firm has sent further Letter of Claims since correcting their systems. As such, I do not consider any further action is required on our part. the firm refers to the costs as estimated as if a claim is issued, the claim form would reflect the accurate figures which are being claims (I think should be been "claimed" not claims). For the reasons given above, I cannot conclude that the firm's behaviour represents a serious failure to comply with our standards or requirements. For that reason, we will not be investigating this matter further on this occasion and I will take steps to close my file. I appreciate this is not the response you were seeking, but I do hope my letter has helped explain our position and the reasons for our decision." From my point of view I am not convinced about this corrective action since in the greenwich peninsula case , the LoC was sent on 27 October and mine was sent 1 month after than, on 26 Nov. Any ideas/views on this please? Thank you.

Thank you FTMDave, yes there is someone who will be here, but not me personally. that was my concern as I am the only one involved in this. I will write now the LoC to SRA, fingers crossed dx, thank you very much, noted.

Thank you very much FTMDave and apologies for my slow response! Of course I will send the email now mentioning that there is evidence in the online space that GS had knowingly added a higher amount in the fixed solicitors' costs section and that I would like to submit a formal complain. Would be fine if I print screen only the section where GS acknowledges the mistake and they say it should be 50 and 80 ? Secondly, I will be outside UK between tomorrow and 1st of Jan when I will return, should I inform anyone that I will be out of the country between this period (19 Dec- 1Jan)? I remember I came across something that I should let the solicitors know about this but I am not 100% sure. I really appreciate your help with this.

Thank you dx100uk, will do that and send it tomorrow the same snotty letter I sent two weeks ago.

Hi all, Just a quick question please, because I had two PCNs, I also received two letters from Gladstone Solicitors, one of them came earlier (deadline 26th November which was sent) and another one identical that came later with the deadline of 10th December . Do I send the same snotty letter for the second one as well? Technically I should send it to meet the deadline, but just in case is there anything else needs to be done? I'll send it tomorrow as usual, 2nd class with proof of postage. Thank you.

Thank you for confirming Nicky Boy, I am just heading off to post them.

thank you very much for your assistance so far and fingers crossed for what's coming. Just to make sure I get it right: 1. I'll send the text with the suggested amendments exactly as it is by 2nd class with Royal Mail with receipt signature. 2. Because I will write the case ID for each recipient I won't mention anything about myself, correct? (it is obvious but trying to be extra cautious) Thank you.

Hi all, What do you think about this first draft? Thank you. Dear Gladstone Solicitors, With reference to case xxxxx.xxxxx I waited patiently and finally I have received your template letter and I feel sorry that you have to continue what your client started, but I can't blame them, GBP 2.4m net profit and GBP 10m in dividends paid in 2023, that's a lot of willingness from Mr. Henson, Dawson, Parker [ the UK CPM Directors] to send these letters to people. Some might end up paying these dividends to them, but not in my case gents. I mean, who would take them seriously when there's no substance on these PCNs/claims from UK CPM? Not in my case at least. I will keep my arguments for later, in case we'll have a future in court because you [GS] know and I know that these claims are total pants. In the same time I'll start thinking about what should I treat myself with the costs that your client will pay. One thing is for sure, I'll enjoy every penny of it since there is no compliance with POFA. Or, better for all that your client drops this foolishness now and we are all going to have nice holidays without myself getting any threatening letters. I look forward to our next interaction. Or not. Either way, it will be entertaining.

Thank you Dx, Nicky Boy. For sure not from Facebook it's not linked, Instagram - I don't have, Twitter account not linked to it, hence I doubt is from any social networks. Maybe from my credit cards or car insurance. Ok, I'll check some snotty letters and come up with one, I hope by next week.

Draft sounded a little bit formal, I needed to refresh my knowledge and came across the case from Gateway-shopping-centre in Trowbridge which I found funny. Because I haven't posted any updates since, I also want to share the history of letters received up until now: 21/02/23 - first PCN from UKCPM (incident date 20 Feb 2023) 25/02/23 - second PCN from UKCPM (incident date 24 Feb 2023) 11/03/23 - Final chance before action from UKCPM 17/03/23 - Final chance before action from UKCPM (second one) 31/03/23 - DRP letter 05/04/23 - DRP letter 24/04/23 - DRP letter 26/04/23 - DRP letter 11/05/23 - DRP letter and something called Terminal Notice Pre-Legal Action 11/05/23 - DRP letter and something called Terminal Notice Pre-Legal Action (second one) 04/07/23 - DRP letter and something called Terminal Notice Pre-Legal Action 05/07/23 - DRP letter and something called Terminal Notice Pre-Legal Action (second one) 27/10/2023 - Letter before claim from Gladstones Solicitors Also now that you asked about the back of the PCNs what I did remembered and most likely didn't mentioned previously (sorry for this). Back in Feb when I got them at the residential premises there is a gardener who is a nice guy and he also told me had problems with UKCPM getting PCNs. I tried my luck by asking him if he can maybe help by asking the property management company to try and cancel the PCN and it this regard I gave him the two PCNs so that he can scan and send them to the property management company or UKCPM (I am not 100% sure who he tried to contact) and on the back of one of the PCNs I left him my phone number and first name. Now the only strange thing is that when I received the letter before claim from Gladstones Solicitors I also received a message on my phone : "Due GBP 170 further to our letter we are to work with you. please visit this site xxxx, quote ref: xxxxxxxx" How come do they have my phone number? Is it from DVLA? Please find attached all documents front/back received so far. PCNs & FCBA (front and back).pdf DRP Letters.pdf Letter of Claim Gladstones.pdf

Hi there, Thank you. I have them(attached) but now I have asked this case to be re-opened here because I received a letter before claim from Gladstones which I have to : 1 pay the debt or 2. dispute the debt within 30 days. now I am refreshing my knowledge here and work on the draft in the hope that with the community's help from here I would be able to create a good draft. UKCPM doesn't know who the driver is, but my wife kept receiving theses papers, the recent one being the letter before claim. PCNs - UKCPM.pdf

Well, I saw in one post you were surprised it reached that far, you never know who's pulling the trigger but as you said and I honestly rely on your expertise, up to 6 years can take so never say never.
