I am hoping someone can help me.
I have been trying to serve a court order on an estranged family member, so far, no such luck.
An attempt to serve the court order where the family member resides resulted in a neighbour saying the person may be in prison.
I have contacted Prisoner Services asking if the family member was in prison, and I was told that due to the Data Protection Act 2018, they cannot give out this information, unless a solicitor writes to them on my behalf (costly).
Included in their reply was that if I state the actual exemption from The Data Protection Act 2018 that is claimed, with the relevant section and paragraph explicitly tied to the reason for your request.
So does anyone have experience of gaining a Prisoner info and location without the need for a solicitor?
Many thanks
Charles B.
