    In response to what you said about 6 months, where does it state they have 6 months? 
    Paragraph B5.2 of the KADOE agreement between the PPC and the DVLA:
    B5.2. The Customer may request Data relating to events that occurred on the day that the request is made, or in the preceding 26 weeks.

    The 'Customer' in this case is the customer of the DVLA - i.e. the parking company.


    The seven months mentioned in an earlier post is because the parking companies' trade associations allow their members an extra month to notify the motorist.


    But I suspect what you are really wanting to know is something completely different.

    There are much much shorter timelines, as little as 14 days in some cases, if the PPC wants to try and pin the blame on the keeper of the vehicle rather than the driver. For further detail on this have a look at the first post of the NEWBIES thread and Schedule 4 of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012.

    Two threads, page two of one of them, and we still don't know the identity of the scammers.

    I'm off to look for easier pickings.

    I think just ignore the poll and answer the questions.

    1: to get help

    2: to get weather updates

    3: to find the correct time

    perhaps you can ask your MP which one he would reccommend

    That is an unnecessary comment bordering on rude to a regular poster.

    I think this is a long-running cat fight that goes deeper than this thread! 🥱
    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.
