    Thanks again Keith,

    Just to clarify, on the SAR should I put in only our company name and telephone number, not an individual?

    You can put your name and write it on behalf of the company. Make sure you put clearly you are an officer of the company and writing as such.

    If the company gets taken to court IIMU that the scammer gets to chose which one.
    You never know how far you can go until you go too far.

    If they did decide to take the case to court, would it be the company that is taken to court as the owners of the vehicle, or myself as the individual who has requested the SAR? Thanks

    If the scammer chooses the court, I suppose they could deliberately pick somewhere that is a long way from where I live? It's making me wonder whether the costs I incur is going to be worth it.

    It can't be you personally. It is either the driver or registered keeper that gets sued. They can't use some random persons name. It would be held at their nearest court but you don't necessarily have to attend.

    It wasn't in either of those car parks mentioned. It was in North Street Peterborough


    Sorry I'm confused was this a red herring then?

    Thanks for the info.

    I'm not sure if we still have the original letter sent to us. What it said was that their attendant couldn't see a ticket on the window, not that we'd been clocked by a camera when we arrived and when we left.

    There was one photograph showing a view of the front of the van on the letter.

    We would've paid cash for the ticket, not used the App.

    We're about 60 miles away from Milton Keynes, so not too far.

    Cheers

    It is about (well exactly) 56.2 miles from the car park to centre of Milton Keynes.

    A company cannot submit a SAR! The clue is in the name Subject Access Request. Only a private individual can submit a SAR. Briefly looking back through this thread if the RK is a company & the driver hasn't been disclosed then !!!!!! don't send a SAR in the name of the driver. If they fail to comply with POFA for keeper liability they won't be able to trot out that tired argument about assuming the keeper is the driver. I cannot see how you can submit a SAR without messing up your case.

    I was thinking that too. I wasn't thinking of mentioning any persons name to BW, but if I'm better sending an SAR, I will have to.....
