have recieved letters from what are alleged to be Data Protection
Agency Services, or similar, requesting payment of £95 to register
them with the Information Commissioner under the Data Protection
Act. 1998
Any company required by law to do
so can in fact register directly with the Information Commissioner
for £40 at
http://www.ico.gov.ukShould you receive one of these
letters pass it on to The Consumer and Business Education Team,
Trading Standards Service, Fife Council, Kingdom House, Kingdom
Avenue, Glenrothes, KY7 5LY.
