Excel PCN from 2013, new letter from BW Legal- help!

onlyfoolsandparking

Having read this thread from start to finish all I can say is WOW!!!! you could not have done any more than you have in fending off these "people". I'm quite new here and fighting notorious Peel centre Excel PCN myself so I'm not in a position to offer advice but I love the way you fired off those complaints, the more of us that do what you have done the better.

I wonder if there is something that be said or done with regards to GDPR with Excel sending this letter (identical to one in 2016 bar swapping paragraphs round) saying my details have been passed to BW? Anyone have any pointers on this?

They are allowed to pass your details to their solicitor.

Just wondering about a delay tactic, such as how long they hold your data for.

I suppose it may be 7 years , although an alleged debt is never "satisfied" as such

I also suppose it depends on what the GDPR says too, but once 6 years is up you would expect that you can hit EXCEL with an SAR and insist that they destroy your data and confirm it in writing, or you complain to the ICO

until this is resolved , they can pass your data onto debt collectors and to solicitors, but they cannot sell the alleged debt

they have to be careful to keep to their KADOE contract and the GDPR as well , plus any other laws that may apply

I'll have a look at tweaking the letters from the first time round, I'll threaten to complain to the CSA and SRA, might as well bung in another complaint and that will hopefully take them over the time limit, as I think it took a year for them to investigate last time.

Anyone got anything else that might be worth popping in? I'll say I'm not registered keeper of that car, true, although I was. Might cost them another £2.50 if they want to check? I know it makes no difference, but just want to make them work lol.

Were you the RK at the time of the parking event?

They can't, only one go per ticket - at the time of the parking event.

Yes I was, my husband suggested it, but I said that made no difference as I was at the time.


Could someone clarify the POFA 2012 that PPC's end up making their NTK's invalid? I thought I has grasped it, but it's been a while, am I right in thinking they mention they can go after RK, but they state at top the driver/hirer is liable?



At top it says the driver/hirer is liable for the charge. Further down it says (I've shortened it a bit) 'if after 28 days from this notice no payment has been made ...and driver details not provided....under schedule 4 of protection of freedoms act we do have the right to recover from the registered keeper of the vehicle....

I know what they are referring to, I'm just trying to remind myself again about it, it's been over a year and a half since I had to write a letter to these idiots!
