Has anyone managed to stop the DVLA for selling their personal data to private parking parasites or local councils for PCN's ? Any thoughts on how this could be tackled to stop them selling or suing them for selling the data or is there a way to stop them from selling you data?

DVLA Private Number Plate Ownership (how I use it) if you buy a number plate from the dvla do you own it? No, you don't actually own a number plate when you buy it from the DVLA. What you're purchasing is the right to assign and use that registration number, but the DVLA retains ownership of the registration itself. Here's how it works: What you get: - The right to assign the registration to a vehicle you own - The right to transfer it to another vehicle (for a fee) - The right to sell or transfer the right to use it to someone else - A certificate showing you have the right to use that registration What the DVLA retains: - Ultimate ownership of the registration number - The right to withdraw it in certain circumstances (though this is rare) - Control over how it can be used and displayed Key limitations: - You must assign it to a vehicle within a certain timeframe or pay retention fees - The registration must be displayed according to DVLA rules - You can't modify the format or spacing of the letters/numbers - If you don't renew retention certificates when required, you can lose the right to use it So while you've paid for exclusive rights to use that registration number, it's more accurate to say you have a license to use it rather than outright ownership. The DVLA maintains this system to ensure proper vehicle identification and regulation compliance. So if you have the right to use it you are a beneficiary? You're thinking along the right lines, but it's not quite a beneficiary relationship in the legal sense. The arrangement is more accurately described as a licence or statutory right. Why it's not exactly a beneficiary relationship: - A beneficiary typically receives something from a trust where a trustee holds legal title for their benefit - With number plates, the DVLA isn't holding the registration "for your benefit" - they're maintaining a regulatory system - Your rights come from statute (road traffic law) rather than from a trust arrangement

Has anyone set up a specific bank account for a trust?

Hi, has anyone had this kind of email from pra group ? I sent them a sar last week with my email address but also being dragged through the county court too

Just had Jacobs on the door over council tax....asked to see his warrent and was told there all electronic nowadays and he didn't have to produce the paper doc with court seal, court address, judges name, judges signature, etc. Told him when he snarkily said "i hope your vehicle is under finance as your gonna lose it" that its in trust along with everything else. Said he need to see the paperwork and told him his office has already recieved it. Took loads of pics of car, got on the phone and after hanging around outside for ages.....drove off! Any advice apart from what i told him would be appreciated? Peter
