As you probably know I currently have a complaint outstanding against MMF. This is in the form of two complaints to the ICOfor breach of the DPA and non response to a S10 notice
and a complaint to the fos regarding various errors, largely relating to CONC
Before I make a claim for damages do I have to wait for the outcome of my complaints, I understand from the ICO that they can not order damages but can only order compliance
Another question and this relates to another DCA as well
According to someone on another site any non specific communication is unlawful under CONC
If this is the case aren't the DCA's kinda screwed as they can not communicate specifically without checking they have the right person and can not communicate non specifically .
In the same vein are these emails unlawful

I ask because both emails have the potential to cause embarrassment if seen by a 3rd party and we all know that email is not classed as secure. They both dropped into my inbox without warning
MMF kindly sent a much more specific one
Incidentally on this last email, according to the agreement that they sent me after a prove it letter there is no provision for interest to be added , actually the loan was interest free, the costs being a loan fee and a broker fee
and a complaint to the fos regarding various errors, largely relating to CONC
