Fake address costs private hire operator over £2,000 A man who gave a false address in Central Bedfordshire to apply for a Private Hire Operators licence has had to pay costs of over £2,000. The matter came to light when unsuspecting residents at the bogus address contacted us, puzzled by a licensing letter they had received. Under the law, anyone applying for a private hire operator's licence must provide a legitimate local operating address to ensure we can carry out necessary checks. Mr O’Neal attended Luton Magistrates’ Court and pleaded guilty to two offences, one under the Fraud Act 2006 and one under the Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1976. He was fined £200 for each offence and ordered to pay £160 victim surcharge and £1,657 towards costs, bringing his total penalty to £2,217.

1-14 If you believe you were the victim of a crime and it was not recorded you have the right to, and should make a report. You can go to any police station to complete a report. They are open 24 hours, every day. As far as the knife goes, it doesn't state in the report that it was used in a crime. If it was used in a crime, then it would usually be booked as evidence. Officers would not usually book all knives inside a home when a domestic arrest is made. I was able to find the affidavits linked to your arrest online through the Clerk of Toledo Municipal Court website. That spells out the exact reason you were arrested. It looks like they were based on the accuser's statements. The affidavits are attached. Concerning the theft of your vehicle and investigation/prosecution, do you have any information that could help us proceed? It looks like I am, at minimum, the third person you have spoken to in this office concerning the same complaint. After repeated review we have found no misconduct by Toledo Police officers. We will not be investigation this complaint further. Feel free to reach out in the future with any concerns related to different allegations involving members of TPD.

So, when a provider or third party administrator starts preaching they will control your compliance or make sure you are in compliance..ask them how their compliance is? One large Irving based provider which advises dealers on compliance finds themselves in multiple class action lawsuits because of lack of compliance. They allowed the personally identifying information of almost 20,000 people. Included was all insurance information, social security numbers, banking information, and the like. Some were former employers. Some were dealers. They waited to inform the dealers and potential victims for months after they learned of the breach. So, when someone preaches they will make sure you are compliant, take a minute and “Google” the company and make sure they are true experts at what they do. You can’t teach what you don’t practice.

Is it fear, misunderstanding of the law or both. In our Jamaica Data Protection Act 2020, there are exemptions for legal obligations, law enforcement etc. Is i that the UK does not have these provisions as well. I read this article and could not understand why these organizations were afraid of sharing data. #dataprotection #dpo #dataprivacy

Auto dealership fraud and chaos have reached an all-time high. Identity theft continues to be ignored, and the Red Flags Rule is being overlooked. GLBA is completely ignored, and there is no privacy notice. Furthermore, nobody is using simple menus to present VPP products. Gap and VSC are voluntary protection products, and they must be offered with a menu that accepts and declines, not stuffed in a fraudulent lender's bank contract. It's essential to learn these initials pretty quick as there are laws on the books. UDAAP (Unfair Deceptive Acts and Practices) is one of them. The Federal Trade Commission, State's Attorney General William Tong, and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau are the authorities you need to be aware of. For those who don't comply, don't forget the Federal Whistleblower Protection Link. Upgrade everything inside your dealership, including your DMS, CRM, and trade appraisal. Many of your current vendors may have no clue about this, and they are also responsible for protecting your customer's PII. They can't prove that. Lead generators, aftermarket vendors, and lenders, you are exposed to federal and state laws that still go undone. Stay informed and stay protected. Check out the link for more information. #AutoFraud #IdentityTheft #ProtectYourCustomers #FederalLaws #StateLaws #StayInformed #StayProtected #GLBA #RedFlagsRule #VPP #UDAAP
