I have to share this latest con, which I'am wondering about going to Watchdog with... My mother recieved a "FINE" in November 2012. As instructed she ignored the letters, even the 'reduced fee' letters.. Now its July 2013 I have just recieved a ''FINE'' from parking eye with a lovely picture of MY MUMS CAR..!! A letter enclosed says how I have commited fraud (LOL) by not informing DVLA of my new address??? Now I have to say My mum and I have the same name, however NEVER has her car been registered to me. So does this not breach Data Protection as they have obviously got my details from somewhere... A few back handers being paid for information I think.. I am of course ignoring the letter but i'd love to hear your views...0

Short letter back saying something like
"This charge is invalid as I have never owned, driven or parked the vehicle in question. I am not, nor ever have been the registered keeper. You have made a mistake. Further communication will result in complaints to every damned regulatory body I can think of, including the BPA."
Very happy for you to send me a POPLA code where I will inform them that the vehicle has never been mine or even better, take me to court and I will employ a solicitor and barrister and hit you with the costs.
Have a nice day0 -

Woah!!!!!!!
You must complain to the Information Commissioner as I really think that breaches data protection. If they suggest you have committed fraud then IMHO that is defamatory libel as well. Can you start a new thread and show us the letter please, this is shocking.

Would love that to be correct, but don't think it is.
I believe that they got the address and name the usual way via DVLA. Now why they didn't write there, OP will need to say. But they can use tracing agencies or credit agencies to trace people who have moved.
It is the credit agency's data that is wrong and they are the ones who, if they refuse to change it, need to be reported to the ICO.0 -

In doing so they have shown the above poster that there is a 'parking charge' outstanding in respect of the keeper of that car.
So they have told a daughter about her Mum's alleged debt = UNLAWFUL and I think a breach of DPA. Back in the day when I worked in a Bank I am sure this is the case, you can't write to the wrong person and divulge financial information (which includes alleged debt).
With MUM ignoring the correspondence, it is not unlawful for the PPC to engage a tracing company in case they have moved house. And that will cost them more money. If the tracers come back with a new address and the PPC in good faith then writes to that address, then that is not going to be a contravention of DP law - at least not on the PPC's part.
However, once advised, they are obliged to desist from corresponding with the person at that address otherwise DP law would be breached.
But, of course, PPCs must not pretend to have any form of legal powers and suggesting that the motorist (the wrong person too!!) is guilty of a criminal offence is outside the rules of the BPA.0 -
Of course it's a breach, they are writing to the wrong person and accusing them of fraud. If it was me I would go to the police with this, if fraud is suspected that is a criminal matter. They have a duty of care with data and they by the looks of things have misused it in this case.When posting a parking issue on MSE do not reveal any information that may enable PPCs to identify you.

Yes the original ''Fine'' was sent in Novemeber to my mums Address at which the car is registered, today I recieved the follow up letter to say they have traced through DVLA to my address. Just to re-iterate the car in the picture has NEVER been registered to my address. I will try and scan in the letter and post it for you. Its all very disturbing how these cowboys manage to get away with it! A friend of mine has just informed me she had a court summons as the law changed in Oct 2012 and as its private land you need to pay, she ended up in court and paid £155..?
Anyone else heard that or has she been scammed.
Neither I or my mum shalll be paying, that is for sure!!!0
