Premier park and BW Legal help

A quick brief, apparently I received a PCN for a Parking contravention back in 2014 from PPL, to which I have no relocation of receiving, although I had parked there around that time. The Car park appears to be no longer run by PPL, think there contract ended around 2016.

I have been following this forum threads including the Newbies thread, thank you for all the information.

Upon receiving a Letter of claim from BWL I have a sent a SAR to Premier Park and a restriction of data to BWL (which has been rejected, as expected).

Please could someone help me with the following

1. A reply has been received from Premier Park (email) asking for proof of identity along with the V5 Logbook and a "written authorisation from the registered keeper named on the V5 Logbook where this is not listed as yourself". I have already sent them a copy of the letter received from PPL as proof of identity, I'll send them a utility bill this time, but as it goes with the V5, as i no longer own the vehicle which was sold over 4 years ago, Is this necessary for a SAR request? How can I get around this ?

2.I am willing to continue along the process, as long as the SAR comes back with evidence which may help, or if someone could confirm what would the worst case scenario in terms of fees to pay the BWL if the case was to lose. The Balance due is £160 (including their fake legal costs) could I just end up paying £100 or would I have to pay their Interest, court fees and solicitor costs ?

3. At what point will it be too late to pay the £160 ?

I really do not want to assist in funding these Scammers just so they can keep scamming vulnerable people.

Even if this case doesn’t have a leg to stand on, I want BWL to work for their “money”.

just a side note for anyone in my situation with PPL their DPO email address is dpo@premierpark.co.uk please don’t make the same mistake I made and put the wrong domain unknowingly for two weeks. They send an automatic reply.

    They cant expect you to send a logbook? - all you should need is the utility bill like you already submitted and possibly ID at the most.

    There are few cases on the forums which have lost and the most you would be looking at is £200 maximum which is a worst case scenario.

    However, every case can be argued, I am gong to assume that you have already recieved a LBC. It is now time to start compiling your defence claim and reading through similar cases to yours. Your defence will be based on technicalities and not mitigating circumstances this is how cases are won. E.g. poor signage, abuse of process, no existing contract.

    Thanks for your reply, that's what I'm thinking. I will send off a copy of my utility bill. Just worried they are going to find as many excuses as possible to delay sending me my SAR as they said they will not start the SAR 30 day responding time until they are happy that i am who i say i am.

    I have one week left until they will be instructed to issue a claim. I will exercise my right to seek debt advice to delay this if need be.

    I haven't received a LBC titled letter only an LOC.

    Many thanks

    DO so immmediately. State you are seeking debt advice AND waiting response on a SAR sent... and you *require* them to put any pending litigation on hold. Fialure to abide by their obligaitons under the PAP *will* see them reported to the SRA for their conduct, and this *will* be raised as an abuse of process in the event they are foolish enough to proced with a claim:> the PAP is mandatory, their failings will be used to claim additional costs and to get the claim struck out proiur to allocation.
