Let them.

They have to prove that you broke your "contract" with them. Obviously as you wasn't there, you could'nt of possibly done so.
In any event, you can ask for the matter to be dealt with at a court nearest to you.

I would follow the advice you have been given so far. I certainly would NOT phone or contact the PPC at this stage.

Stop worrying about that.

As Tilt writes above, in the unlikely event that you ever get a County Court claim, you can have the hearing transferred to your local County Court.

If it got to court, all you need to do is say to the judge.


Sit, it is not my car, can I have lots of money please.

Is it likely my plate has been cloned.

Unlikely, what has probably happened is that someone has either written it down incorrectly, or someone at UKCPS has worse typing abbilites than myself.
Do you have an clues as to where this car park was/is?.
I would be tempted to go for the landowner/whoever took on UKCPS, as principal they are jointly and severally liable for the actions of their agents, and if there has been a data protection breach then the buck should stop with whoever contracted UKCPS to act on their land on their behalf.

hoohoo

ask UKCPS for the amount for breaking the data protection act?

Yes.

This is proving a very successful tactic.

When a parking company pursue a motorist but the charge is not valid, they commit a breach of the data protection act, for which judges seem to be awarding £250.

Legitimate parking companies have nothing to fear, but the bottom feeders are in for a rough ride.

We will help with the process which is very easy.

alas I think we need to know on wat date UKCPS accessed data first , as the OP clearly states that the letter says 10th Oct at 20.51 , and as such UKCPS could not get data legally during the date of the ticket and day 56

I live over 200 miles away from where they say I was parked so no way am I going to see the landowner.

You write to them!

pappa_golf

get the info I suggested earlier , after that you can ask for photos etc ,

chill out they have simply typed the wrong number , but "how" they have got info is more inportant at this point in time

you can punch an idiot once , or get the DVLA to chop their legs off , and YES kicking a PPC that is on the floor is acceptable

Sorry, but I couldn't resist
