Should the ratepayer be an individual, we confirm that the information requested is for the purposes of prospective legal proceedings to recover the unpaid debt, meaning that the GDPR provisions relating to personal data do not apply and the information requested is disclosable under Schedule 2 Part 1 Para 5 (3) (a) of the Data Protection Act 2018.
