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,

 

Amy Jaines - Information Governance Officer
