It looks like that PDF is probably a glossy flyer. Hopefully they printed 10,000 of them and will have to pulp the lot.

TCP have a history of being fast and loose with words. Up to very recently their signs in ASDA car-parks mentioned "civil penalty charges" and before that they were calling the tickets "penalty notices".

I like the bit at the bottom of their local notices which says.
If the £70 is not paid we will add a £10.00 admin fee. Nothing about trying to con us just adding the £10.00 how nice.

I wonder if the DVLA seeing as they claim the £2.50 only covers cost are getting a bit fed up with this PPC nonsense?

Lets keep the pressure on chaps!

Coupon-mad

Oh there is plenty of pressure going in to the DVLA about these firms...a few emails may have been sent already.

Just pick a PPC from the AOS memebers' list and look at their website & report any breaches...there are loads...:cool:

It looks as though the DVLA have finally grown a pair, and have starting taking positive action against PPCs.

I think you could well be right, isnt the a new chap at the helm of data sharing?

From what Nev was saying on Pepipoo it appears they have now said in their cryptic language that data can/should only be passed over from a PPC to a DCA in order to begin proceedings

No way, I want to retain the right to obtain details of anyone I need to get the details of and am not willing to lose this. If they want to charge firms £10 per enquiry, that's fine - but their business model will dictate the 'fines' will need to increase to cover these costs.

What sort of circumstances? Such as when you advised a poster on CAG a few years back in relation to a dog bite to contact DVLA and ask them to provide details from the reg number of the dog owners car?

If you have a legitiamte reason to obtain details then the DVAL should be able to supply them under strict conditions, and by a case by case system.
Legitiamte reasons could be something like a car has been left in a car park, and its blocking access, you need the drivers details so that they can be contacted and asked to move their vehicle, or someone else can move it for them ( ie a friend) or you can get permission to move it yourslef - if possible.
