Defence-Systems reject appeal

Pleased to hear that it all worked out for. Don't forget to spread the word.

By all means write to the BPA, who will do nothing, but the real complaint is to DVLA that this company accessed your personal details over something that had absolutely nothing to do with parking, and alleged keeper liability against you when the law provides for no such thing. Keeper liability exists (sometimes) for parking on private land and nothing else.

DVLA will almost certainly give you the brush-off, so you need to be persistent, escalating to your MP if necessary. Also, once you've got the first brush-off from DVLA, you can complain to ICO that there has been a breach of the DPA and the data controller (DVLA) refuses to do anything about it.

You now could, of course, issue them with your own invoice (followed if necessary with a MCOL) for costs incurred in fighting a charge for which they had absolutely legal cause to pursue you - and after all POPLA have proved that they were not entitled to anything, yet you had to go to considerable lengths and some expense to prevent them extorting money from you.

You could also threaten in your invoice covering letter that should they fail to settle the invoice then the County Court, with a preceding Letter Before Court, will be your next step via MCOL. What goes around, comes around!

Do a search on Biker Paul and Derek Donovan on PePiPoo who both successfully counter-claimed against PPCs.

Ah, maybe now I think about it, but there's some stuff on PePiPoo from him to give some good pointers on how to progress such a claim.
