Is it just me.
My Simmonds and Albatross have both been rejected for Windermere registration renewal because I haven't sent a head and shoulder picture and at least 2 other forms of ID! The boats have been registered on Windermere for the last 5 years, they have my address, they have my bank details, they have my email address and they have my telephone number, they have the location the boats are stored and launched. Why do they need in addition of all that my rates bill and bank statement as well as photo?
GDPR apparently is the reason why I cant even speak to my daughters car insurance company to assist with a claim yet these people want to put all this data on me on a desk in Kendal for goodness knows who to see!
It is frustrating that so many organisations now require unwarranted amounts of personal data. I wanted to pay some money into my sons account. They took the money happily enough but are holding onto it and not adding it to his account because he failed their internal experien credit check. He’s 18 which explains the lack of credit history, we are now having to provide three forms of ID before they’ll credit my money that they are holding to his account.
As far as your photo goes, send them a picture of someone else. Oh and after that ask them for a copy of all of the information they hold relating to you, that is your right under gdpr and they have to provide it to you.
