APCOA - Luton Airport PCN for Dropping Off just outside the Mid Stay Car Park

The_Deep

Appeal, it costs them money. And when they chicken think about an invasion of privacy claim, here is a LBA I sent them recently.

[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]This Letter Before Action is a claim for compensation for breaching my right to privacy by processing my data in breach of the Data Protection Act by pursuing me as a registered keeper on land covered by bye-laws, contrary to the provisions of Schedule 4 of the Protection of Freedoms Act.[/FONT]

As it has not been possible to resolve this matter amicably, and it is apparent that court action may be necessary, I write in compliance with the Practice Direction on Pre-Action Conduct.


Apcoa has attempted to obtain monies from me as registered keeper to which it has no entitlement and has passed my private data to Debt Recovery Plus and Zenith Collections contrary to their Kadoe contract, despite being aware that any actions against me for alleged breaches of Railway Bye-laws should have been directed at either the owner or the driver of the vehicle by the land owner in a criminal court of law.


I am claiming £500.00 compensation for the distress caused and the waste of my time. Unless this sum is received within twenty eight days of the date of this letter, I will commence legal proceedings without further notice. Should you decide to pay, I shall not accept any confidentiality clause.


Listed below are the documents I intend to rely on in court.

I can confirm that I am willing to engage in Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), (Ombudsman Services is a respected ADR company), in order to avoid the need for this matter to be resolved by the courts, and look forward to hearing from you within the next 28 days.

Should I not receive a response to this my letter within this time frame, I would draw your attention to paragraphs 15 and 16 of the Practice Direction which gives the courts the power to impose sanctions on the parties if they fail to comply with the direction including failing to respond to this letter before claim.


Yours faithfully,

Coupon-mad
