You will receive letters demanding payment, even ones pretending to be from solicitors. If they want their money they will have to sue you in the civil court and prove they have suffered a material loss. In this case it's a free car-park, so they have not suffered any loss.
If you ignore all the letters they will eventually give up and go away because they would be laughed out of court.What part of "A whop bop-a-lu a whop bam boo" don't you understand?0 -
DVLA have a form V888/3 for companies to apply for details. Its for those who issue Parking Charge Notices. This sounds as though My details are being sold by the Government to Private companies who have no 'Reasonable Cause' to have them. Is this breaking the Data Protection Actby requesting and selling this info0

form V888/3 is the correct form for Private Parking Companies. the forms were changed at the end of 2008.
my apologies.0 -
And if they don't do it themselves they have an agreement with another company who have an electronic connection to DVLA .I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.0

I will write to DVLA to query its legality and wether I can have my details blocked under the data protection act so private companies cannot gain access. doubts on my success0
