having given it some thought i do feel they the fleecers need to be held to account for the complete disregard of data protection regulations and for the unwarranted processing of my data , so with your guidance and support i am happy to proceed with that process

OK.

 

Please bear with us for a little while with it being nearly Christmas.

 

I have to work quite hard this week but I'll have loads of time free over the festivities and promise to dig out the other thread I mentioned and get back to you.

 

IIRC GDPR breaches have to be dealt with promptly but with the holidays intervening, the start of January ought to be fine.

The work week is over and finally there is time free to have a look at this.

 

I've split the GDPR part off as a new thread as it will be a separate court claim.

 

When you have time read posts 10-24 at  https://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/topic/450568-highview-parking-breach-of-gdpr/#comment-5173842  The steps to start a claim for breach of GDPR are explained. 

 

(This is the thread I've previously mentioned where a motorist wanted to sue for breach of GDPR but at a certain point they disappeared, quite possibly because a mistake had been made about which company to pursue and they may have got fed up.)

 

The initial action would be to follow post 12 and contact the DVLA to find out who has been accessing your data.

 

Note FruitSalad's post 15.  This doesn't mean you have to give up your Christmas to deal with this!  But it will need to be done at the start of January.  If you could get the DVLA mail off sharpish that would be good, the template is there and it should only take a minute.

 

Obviously Christmas is upon us but please come on when you are able to work on this.

 

And although we haven't much GDPR breach history on CAG, there is plenty on the web, victory is perfectly possible.  Have a good chuckle at these three short threads:

I have read through posts 10 to 24 , and the three short threads you shared , interesting reading.

Iif my understand is correct , the crux of the claim will centre around the lawful basis for processing data , and the position that this did not exist for EPS in my case

So if reading correctly my next steps are to e mail dvla to find out who has been accessing my data and to complain about the data being issued without just cause , an dm to send SAR to EPS

Yes, spot on. 

 

Find out from the DVLA who has accessed your data.  Of course we know it is EPS.  However, best to get all your ducks in a row.  For example, in the other CAG case I mentioned, the PPC had used a third party to access data so there were two entitles to pursue.

 

Yes, SAR EPS.  Given the postal strikes, this can be speeded up by e-mail.  I've seen on their site - General Data Protection Regulation gives you the right to access information held about you. You can access personal data we hold of you by sending an email to [email protected]

 

(We normally say not to use e-mail when dealing with PPCs but here you are after them, and in any case e-mail contact can be stopped later down the line).

 

The complaint to the DVLA is a secondary matter and can wait.

 

If you can, get both these off today and get the ball rolling.

We could do with some help from you.

i have put together  and sent the respective e mails to both EPS and DVLA using the relevant templates as a base.

Interestingly the EPS one bounced back with the message that the address could not be found or is not accepting e mails. Will pop a letter in the post tomorrow with proof of postage

How about: [email protected]

From their website...

 

I do believe that they must respond to a SAR whichever route the request reaches them by?

Someone on another thread today had a mail to the DVLA address bounce back.  Has this not happened to you?

the EPS e mails were delivery status notifications , delivery failure 

 

The DVLA e mail wasn't a bounce back i.e delivery failure but i san automated response sign posting e mail addresses for specific topic areas and that if the request sent to [email protected] was not for a large data set it would not be responded to 

here is the wording received from the dvla auto response:-

You're right!

 

1.  I've just been through the process.  After ages I got to  https://contact.dvla.gov.uk/vehicle/capture_personal_information?locale=en

 

2.  I chose "Request information or a form from us, check your details or report an untaxed/abandoned vehicle" then "Requesting information from DVLA vehicle records" then "Advice on the release of information from DVLA records ".

 

3.  They then sent me a standard e-mail about all the great work they do with drivers' personal information.  The last few lines of the stupid mail are

Good luck!

just keeping you all in the loop , reply received back from the dvla , acknowledging receipt of both the e mail which indicated it was for large data requests , and the subsequent request following the process outlined by FTMDave.

 

see below 

 

nothing back yet from the fleecers at EPS

So DVLA treated my request for information as an SAR according to the communication i received from them. DVLA are stating that according to there have been no request for data connected to the vehicle DS16 AOX.

 

We know that cannot be correct as the fleecers got my registered keeper details from somewhere? 

 

thoughts on this ?
