You probably don't need a lawyer every time you receive such a letter.
For routine enquiries, maybe not. For a letter like this, from someone who is clearly intending to trip you up and cause trouble, our lawyer is the first call I'm making, every time.
And that initial conversation is already going to cost me hundreds of pounds and a half-day of work, even if I already have reasonable answers to anything we are actually required to respond with under the GDPR here.
