"It would appear from the attached the charge was issued to your vehicle at the Railway Station car Park in *****. The details supplied show that London and Southwestern Railway Limited Trading as Debt Reocvery and Prosectution Service are the company who is pursuing you in this matter. This company is not a subcriber to the BPA’s Approved Operator Scheme.
To offer you some general advice, at this stage as you have been provided with photographic evidence of the ticket being affixed to your vehicle, you are best placed in contacting the company to see if they can negotiate or discuss the matter further. You may also wish to consider seeking legal advice and contesting the charge via the legal system, but as this is not something we have jurisdiction over, we will be unable to assist you further at this time."
Not looking great TBH...bummer...
The BPA have breathed a sigh of relief because it means they don't have to get involved with a subject they know nothing about.
You can't contest this via the legal system unless you are taken to the magistrate's court, but that is extremely unlikely.
Just sit tight and count the days off on your calendar. When you get to six months, write to them and tell them that since it is now statute barred you require them to confirm the matter is closed and they will delete your data within (say) one calendar month.
Send an SAR a month later to ask what personal data they hold about you and your VTN. Complain to the ICO if they still have any.I married my cousin. I had to...I don't have a sister.
