That question, and many others, are answered in the stickies, (and by googling).  You cannot hope  to combat these scams  unless you make an  effort.

What is a SAR request?

A subject access request (SAR) is simply a written request made by or on behalf of an individual for the information which he or she is entitled to ask for under section 7 of the Data Protection Act 1998 (DPA). The request does not have to be in any particular form.

The reply received to SAR from DVLA

"Thank you for your email regarding the release of information from the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency's (DVI.A) vehicle register. DVLA takes very seriously its duty under the Data Protection Act 2018 to protect the privacy of the motorists whose details it holds for the purposes of registering and licensing vehicles, and to comply With the Act’s guiding principles. However, the Act exempts from its non-disclosure provisions the release of data Where the law allows it and DVLA is not in a position to refuse those who have a legitimate right to receive information.

Regulation 27 Of the Road Vehicles (Registration and Licensing) Regulations requires DVLA 10 release information from the vehicle register to the police. to '(Val authorities for purposes associated with the investigation of an offence or decriminalised parking contravention, and to anyone Who can demonstrate 'reasonable cause. to have it. 'Reasonable cause' is defined in legislation and requests are considered on (heir merits.

We have been advised that requests from private car parking enforcement companies are considered to meet the 'reasonable cause. criteria. Unauthorised parking on private land is a problem many landowners experience and providing them with information is necessary to allow them to enforce their rights to their property. Since the 23" November all car park enforcement companies who require information from the DVLA must be members of an Approved Operator Scheme. Members of this scheme must adhere to a code of practice for the operation of their company.

You may also be interested to know that anyone making a false declaration in order to obtain information may he leaving themselves open to prosecution under the Data Protection Act. and the Information Commissioner is keen to follow up any such incidents."

VRM requested by UK Parking Patrol Office

Enquiring Reason     Breach of Terms and Conditions of a private car park

“As these requests were made electronically this would have generated automatic responses which would have been sent electronically to the relevant company the following working day. The DVLA does not record the location of the alleged contravention. The notice issued should provide the full location details.

You have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office if you believe that the DVLA has not handled your subject access request appropriately. Please write to Information Commissioners Office. Wycliffe House. Water Lane. Wilmslow SK9 5AF.

The minimum evidence required to demonstrate 'reasonable cause. was agreed by the Department for Transport and can be found on our web-site under how to get information from the DVLÄ. This situation has changed with the implementation of the General Data Protection Regulation which came into effect in May 2018.

I have reason to believe the way in which these requests are being made to DVLA could contravene the regulations in more than one way. I'd be happy to share this with anyone who PMs me.
