URGENT: Data Protection Act 1998 Breach...

[R0b]

If it is the same letter, I don't think there's any need to look at it just fire it off.

The fact is that they might have blocked my email address, I would not put it past them...

So I want to give them another opportunity to resolve the matter before I go to court. I just hope that they see sense and realise that I am serious and not ignore me this time.

R0b, I will shortly be attaching the letter for the second of the societies, I hope you will be able to look at it before I send it tomorrow morning in the post.

[R0b]

Not sure why you feel the need to re-send the LBA, have I missed something? Issue a claim and then they will reply.

It would be better to get it recorded with a signature so I can prove it was handed to the defendant or someone at his address by the postman. Right?

A free certificate of posting is also proof of sending.

So I sent the letter by email on 6th March, but as expected, I received no reply.

I have therefore updated my letter accordingly and reattached it to this post, again redacted for review.

I would like to get to the post office tomorrow and send it to them, by recorded delivery, which I am presuming I can then use the delivery proof from Royal Mail's website in court as evidence that the letter was received? Please clarify this point.

This is one of 2, while I am completing the second, this one can be reviewed.

I await a speedy response.

Thanks again.

R0b, Thank you for your quick reply.

I am sure that you can understand that I want to get it right.

I have removed the letter from my post. Hopefully, it does not still sit on the server of this forum.

I have just sent the letter to the BAS chairman.

Next up, NAS which I will do later today.

If the BAS chairman has any sense, he will respond positively, or face being dragged through the courts.

[R0b]

Looks fine

Though your name still sits at the bottom of the letter, unredacted.

I'm surprised you still haven't sent the letter, it's been some two months since we last discussed.

[«THÖMÅS®©™»]

So I have been testing myself and I have managed to come up with a letter to send to BAS that I intend to send today. I would appreciate it if one of you could look at it and tell me if it looks good.

They both clearly think that they have got away with it, but not wit me.

One thing: is it a legal requirement to respond to an LBA?

Please look at the letter I have attached (redacted of course).

Thanks again.

Anyone?

[«THÖMÅS®©™»]

Subject line "Letter Before Action" or something similar?

Ok. I'll complete my LBA's and post them up later once complete.

Thanks for all the help in the meantime.

p.s. what about pointing it out but also saying I won't be claiming for it?

If you are not claiming for it, don't clutter up your LBA with unnecessary detail.

Don't forget that the man who invented radar said: “Give them the third-best to go on with; the second-best comes too late, and the best never comes.”

The data that was passed around was completely false and inaccurate. Additionally, it was passed to another society which banned me for it.

My question now is this...

Can LBA's be sent via emails (because one of the societies addresses does not exist, or should I say "unreliable", thier words not mine, although I do have the home address of the chairman, which he seems to have changed recently.

I'd send the LBA by email. In the same email, I would ask them whether they require a hard copy, and, if so, where they want it sent.

You'll need a postal address to issue proceedings to. So, you may as well ask them to confirm the address they want used for that purpose.

Thomas, the court it ends up in depends on the claim you make, not the LBA.

Your claim is for distress caused by a breach of DPA. Is your distress very significantly increased by the data being passed around being inaccurate? If so, then include it in the LBA. But, if your distress was only increased a little bit, for goodness sake do yourself a favour and drop the point!

to some extent, you have lost sight of why you are bringing this case, or so it seems to me. In the past, you have said that the damages are not that important to you. However, you seem now to be completely obsessed about wringing the very last penny out of the case. Which is it?

You ought to try to apply the 80:20 principle to this, as well as other aspects of your life. Otherwise, you're in danger of not getting this case off the ground. You should have a look at Sir Bob Watson's cult of the imperfect, even though it's not in your nature.
