Re: Court Claim Form / PCM (UK) Ltd / Brentford Sainsburys - HELP!
My thoughts are that if you have never been to court, I'm not sure I would want to be the claimant first time round. If you loose you could get stung with some costs. However, the fact that they dropped their case strengthens your DPA claim. If they thought they had a valid contract and could follow the rules of PoFA Schedule 4, then they probably would have continued their claim. No contract and not following PoFA Schedule 4 correctly and getting your data from the DVLA puts you in a strong position. I guess it depends on if anyone here is willing to review your own claim documentation.
I think I have grounds for a DPA claim but I am hesitant to make it as the initial claim. If PCM pursues me, then I will certainly make the counterclaim. Instead of a £250-£750 claim, my strategy would be £100 per misuse of my data. I've had several letters from PCM and several letters from DRP. I'm not sure if that would be successful though.
(I agree though, it looks like your NoD was incorrectly completed though. I'm not sure if it is worth contacting the court clerk for verification. The worst case would be if you thought it was discontinued, didn't show, but it wasn't actually discontinued and you lost by default.)
