DVLA Caught Out Lying

Options
In this case the driver id'd himself on receipt of the NtD and appealed the ticket, PPS therefore requested the RK data (without 'reasonable cause' as they already had the driver's name and address) and the DVLA sold the keepers details to them. Then lied about it.

I have been providing assistance, including Lay Representation at Court hearings (current score: won 57, lost 14), to defendants in parking cases for over 5 years. I have an LLB (Hons) degree, and have a Graduate Diploma in Civil Litigation from CILEx. However, any advice given on these forums by me is NOT formal legal advice, and I accept no liability for its accuracy.

    According to PPS they've done nothing illegal. So in the doublethink world of private parking breaking the Data Protection Act isn't illegal.

    Sounds to me like the gentleman in the video should be complaining long and loud to the ICO, and to his MP.

  • IMO standard practice for certain PPC's to write to the keeper despite having driver details .
    I once tested this out by appealing an NtD using a business address . Surprise surprise a reminder letter arrived to the home address .
    Guess the PPC ? Not difficult
