This event is 4 years ago now. Can someone still email a SAR to the DPO at TPS even if they are no longer the registered keeper and no longer have the V5?

Considering they are still chasing you and not the new keeper of the vehicle, they still have your personal information. As per GDPR, as an individual you have the RIGHT to request any data held about you from an organisation and to see if they are handling your data in a correct manner.

A utility bill or your driving license should suffice at most

Thanks all for points so far. Do i need to send a holding statement or other response to BW Legal? They have requested a response within 14 days. Are there any template responses available for this situation that I could base my response on?

Your prpoof of ID can be as simple as - youre sending these documents to my address, so clearly I am the data subject.
Be creative. Youre provinf you are the person named on the documents. Even a utility bill copy would be enough.

You will see suggestions for replying to a LBC in the newbies FAQ thread

#2 there covers Court claims right through from the LBC to the hearing

It's likely that the claim will follow irrespective of anything you write requesting a hold!

So proceed with preparing to construct a defence (FAQ #2 advises on this too)

I am emailing a SAR to TPS to get all the info evidence they may hold. Should I email BW Legal to update them and would this be enough correspondance to them at this time?

Did you read up on this in the FAQ?

Worth a try, and include the debt advice issue,

So, I have requested the SAR from TPS and am awaiting their response. I also sent a request to BW Legal to put a hold on proceedings until I receive the requested evidence from TPS. As suggested on the forum, they have decided not to accept this request:
