Can Form V888/2 be used to access my DVLA records?

    Is this worth a complaint to the DVLA that ANPR are trying to get around their ban? V888/2 requires a valid reason, and Trespass (which ANPR will claim they are pursuing under) requires the applicant to be the landowner (not ANPR) or their legal representative (ANPR).

    ANPR are clearly trying to use the V888/2 and Trespass to try and avoid the requirement that parking companies must be part of a DVLA approved ATA (BPA and IPC).
    We have not seen any evidence that he's actually tried this, though. Until then ...

    And he can't use the V888 and trespass as a way round being an ATA member. This (long) thread shows how one person has been stopped from doing this, and even had a judicial review rule against him: http://forums.pepipoo.com/index.php?showtopic=93337

    Isn't that exactly what's happened here? ANPR has not had legitimate DVLA access for some time now, so this was presumably post-BPA?

    OP - Can you put up a redacted copy of the correspondence you received?

    I think the OP was posing a hypothetical question. This is based on what their web site claims, rather than the receipt of an actual NTK.

    It sounds real to me:
    I recently received a 'Parking Charge Notice' on my windscreen from a company that isn't registered with the BPA or IPC

    But my brain has melted today.

    The OP had a Notice to Driver. I am sure he is asking if ANPR can use a back-door method to get his details. The OP has not had anything through the post, to date.
    Thats how I understand it.

    the owner of ANPR (a Mr whitehouse) fought the acceptance of POFa 2012v to a great extent , he even tried setting up his own company in defiance of the BPA http://www.national-clamps.com/ and more importantly http://veta.co.uk/ he even threatened to take the government to court over POFa2012 , its a surprise he lasted in the BPA for as long as he did , complaints were being received from day one , and the nail in his coffin might have been him saying "I,m not renewing my subscription"


    he was running 7 car parks in Preston , and issuing tickets for minor infringments like "wheel over line" on an empty car park at 1am (owner getting takeaway from local shop) , he told Preston council that he was a member of an approved ATA , he was a member of the credit services assocc WHO ARE NOT allowed to get info for parking offences , this was brought to the attention of the DVLA /CSA and the counsil , who Immediately "fired him" , after leaving the meeting with them , he phoned the police and attempted to press charges against me (how we laughed)


    lots more to be said , but if a ticket is received and you do not contact them , if they get your info , hell will break loose

    WOW thanks for that info freddy.

    Guess this "Trev" bod will now be confined the "past history" books

    Yeah, sorry, I only just noticed "Windscreen". I'm not with it at all today.
