EMA BP garage demand for payment

As already mentioned, complain to the DVLA.
The driver was filling the car with fuel and the scammers have helpfully provided photographic evidence.
The scammers had no business asking for the keeper's personal data and the DVLA had no business giving it to them for a non parking event.
I would also suggest a complaint to the ICO about this misuse of personal data by both parties.
If you get stopped by a parliamentary candidate, you could ask what they intend to do about this unregulated scam should they be elected. You could hint that their answer might sway your vote and that of your family and friends.
After the election, complain to your new MP.I married my cousin. I had to...I don't have a sister.All my screwdrivers are cordless."You're Safety Is My Primary Concern Dear" - Laks1 -
The airport petrol staton is owned by the Prax group ( source https://www.derbytelegraph.co.uk/news/derby-news/derby-man-fined-hundreds-pounds-3552375 ) website : https://prax.com/
also see https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/10942331/officers
In the case of noran73, in breif i would put a GDPR claimin against Prax group over the actions of its agents, please start a separate thread where things can be sorted on a case by case basis.
As for the origina poster, again a GDPR complaint against prax, if the pssengers departed the vehicle whiclt filling up, and the pasengers were not employees of the driver then the data should not have been accessedFrom the Plain Language Commission:

Hello everyone,Thank you for all answers,will start a new thread as advised so.I do live in Germany,however haven`t got a permanent address as yet.Many mention about complaints to DVLA and other bodies,running to explain that i`am not specialist and have not much of idea about how and whom to complain.which makes me potential Court client soon.Ready for that,however struggling to find relevant Solicitors to engage with the case.Looking for other threads across the web,there is always a risk that the case will be taken to the Court,however many stated,that similar cases never meet a Judge.0

Unfortunately,have no option to start a new post in case above.Worth to add that my car is clearly visible stopped by the pump,which should be obvious for everyone that driver attempts to fuel up.Havent complained to BP as it is only their Trademark,Apparently they not interested with their good reputation.0

Complain to the DVLA DATA SHARING TEAM that the registered keeper data was given out with no reasonable cause, and show them the photo of the driver filling the car with petrol at the pump. Say how ludicrous and in fact, unlawful, this charge is, and that the parking scam industry is clearly out of control and the DVLA seems to not care!
Consider taking this to the national papers as well. The Daily Mail lap up stories like this scam, and any pressure from publicity (and the DVLA complaint) could get it cancelled.PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

Hello everyone.Regarding previous posts,i was quite away from civilization.Untill last week ,when knocked my house door in the UK.For visiting purposes.One of the correspondence was a letter, from i believe County Court from Nottingham.VCS made a claim against me for £185 ,including costs.Normally i would gladly respond withing time manners,however letter came on 12 of January,So very late respond from me.Which i believe that answering through MONEY CLAIMS ONLINE may be not successful,due to late respond.Any way have decided to log on the website,and explain the circumstances.Today,was trying to log on again to check if there is anything going on,and no log in possible.Website says-wrong claim number or a password.STUMPED.Just add that nor my wife or anyone else is allowed to open correspondence addressed to me,mostly due to work specification.Any comments welcome.0

You never know how far you can go until you go too far.2 -
It wasn't from the County Court in Nottingham. It was from the County Court Business Centre in Northampton.
Phone the CCBC and ask them what is going on. Number on your Claim Form.
Most likely is that you have a Default County Court Judgment against you because you failed to respond to a County Court Claim within the stipulated time.
If you are not going to open your own mail in a timely manner, for whatever reason, then you may need to re-think your strategy of allowing no-one else to do so.
This is now well outside the scope of a simple parking issue.

Thank you everyone for the comments.it is in Northampton indid.However does it change anything in he case?I work for Military Forces,so my correspondence must remain to see by myself only.No matter is i change it or not.No Default County Court Judgment has not been issued yet.I have received a letter of Notice of proposed allocation to the small claims track.Believe it is Mediation Service.So explanation works,sometimes.The only problem for the moment is that i can not to leave the Base to complete Declaration in court office.0
