Indigo Saba - it seems they think they are above the law now

Wrote to Indigo/Saba and their cronies, to remind them that the supposed parking ticket incident occurred well nearly a yr ago and that they should now cease processing & delete the keeper's data.
Received reply, quoting a clause from BPA code of practice, which allows them to access DVLA data. They then go on to say that after the final reminder is sent (this was sent ages ago, last year), they must wait 14 days before taking further action e.g. court action or debt recovery against the keeper. They argue that they therefore have probable cause to continue to chase payment.
So can Keeper deduce from this:
1. They are quoting BPA code of practice which a) is irrelevant as it only gives them opportunity to seek data from DVLA, not continue to process it nearly a year later and b) BPA code of practice does not usurp DPA, GDPR etc.
2. They can't add up, as the "Final Reminder" was sent to the keeper last yr, clearly more than 14 days ago.
3. Can Keeper now write to MP and the ICO about this clear willingness of Indigo/Saba to misuse data?

Please stick to one thread.
https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/5921939/clarification-is-a-nto-the-same-as-ntk
Otherwise posters are only going to waste their time seeking clarifications that you have already provided.
This was a Penalty Charge Notice and the incident happened more than six months ago, they are stuffed.
Don't contact them and just file away any threatograms you might get from debt collectors.0
