Duplicate thread- please ignore

Hello all

as per advice on this forum, correspondence from SABA parking was ignored for a period of 6 months. Then a request was made for them to remove all personal data. Interestingly, the below response was received 

“Unfortunately, even though the 6 months has passed, cases such as these can be pursued through the County Court with a 6 year statutory limitation period. Therefore, we would have legitimate grounds to retain the data for the period of time for which a claim could be made.

 

As well as this, the notice remains active and the balance outstanding. Therefore we are unable to remove your data from our system whilst money is still owed and the case remains open.”


My thinking is that this is a load of nonsense as County Court if for a civil pursuit- not criminal as is with the bylaws/magistrates process. I have queried this point but welcomed further views? 


Thanks!
