Morning All,
Our Fraud Investigation Team sent a Section 29(3) Request
for information to a local letting agency for some information about one of
their former tenants, who is currently subject to investigation for potential
benefit offences.
The letting agency have complied with the request but have
invoiced us for the information. Can they do this? I am not aware of any part of
DPA legislation that allows for making a charge for information, unless it is
for an SAR and even then the maximum charge is £10 and the invoice they have
sent us exceeds this amount by quite a lot??
Regards,
Information Management
