Tesco's/Highview Parking PCN

As Umkomaas says ......
Dave Lewis of Tesco will have a lot of explaining to do

If it is as we suspect, Tesco will fall in the same category
as Facebook

Did the letter come from HV or Tesco?
1 letter from each, in same envelope
You need to find out from the DVLA who accessed your data, when and for what purpose. Likely to be HV, but get that in writing from the DVLA first.
do i just worite to DVLA asking who got a copy of my details, and ask was it either Tesco or HV?
If the letter has come from Tesco, then it's likely to only be HV who has passed your details to them. If that's the case, there's a potential DPA breach here.
Is this worthy of a complaint? Or would it just be ignored?

Or are there two letters? 2 letters

Can you let us see a redacted copy of the letters - host on tinypic, imgur, Dropbox or the like, then copy the url into your next post, but change the http to hxxp as newbies can't, at this stage, post live links. We'll do the conversion.

I can try and scan both in tonight at work and upload to those sites, do you mean for me to blank out my personal info?

Just read the letter from Tesco that came with the PCN and it says she overstayed a month earlier,

How do they know it was the same driver on both occasions?

Umkomaas

OK. Will you write to the DVLA and ask who accessed your data between 01/02/18 (which will cover the first overstay) and say 04/04/18 (to pick up the second overstay).

You can get this information free of charge.

No, don't do an either/or, just ask who accessed your data between the dates I've given above.

It must be done in writing, it used to be by letter, but I'm sure I've read a post somewhere that it can be done via email, maybe someone here might have the appropriate email address?

You will need to put all your identifiers like name, address, dob, vehicle registration mark, driving licence number just to be sure they deal with this without coming back to you for more info.

If the letter has come from Tesco, then it's likely to only be HV who has passed your details to them. If that's the case, there's a potential DPA breach here.

Hold your horses, you're trying to run before you're walking. Let's gather evidence, then we can help you tackle what's needed.

As long as you appeal by the deadline set by HV, there's no major rush. There's potentially a bigger fish to fry in this particular case, so please don't rush at anything just yet.

When is the HV deadline please?
