    Nope, no template.  Just go online to the ICO website and report your concern.  Show them this evidence:

    So I sent the SAR request to Euro Parking Services and this is the email I got in response:
    Hi, 

    I am now on maternity leave. With limited access to my emails. 
     
    Kind Regards

    Hi guys.

    I’ve just received this email from Gladstone solicitors and wanted to know if there was anything I needed to do:





    Thank you in advance

    By the way I still haven’t had a reply to my SAR from Euro Parking Services even though it’s been almost 3 months

    After one month surely you reminded them, giving them a few more days to comply.
    Now they have missed that deadline too your subsequent complaint to the ICO will have been logged but don't expect a quick response from them.

    KeithP, 

    I didn’t know I had to remind them, so I didn’t email again. 

    I have been extremely busy with work the last couple of months and I did not even get round to complaining to the ICO. 

    Can/should I still do that?

    Also, I forgot to mention that with the above email from Gladstones, they attached copies of all of the PCN’s, NTK’s, final reminders and Letters before court action. They also attached a “copy” of the sign at the parking site:

    Is the first orange sign meant to be at the site? Because I do not remember seeing that there. The second blue sign was at the site but it wasn’t as clear as the one they sent me. I posted a pic of the sign from the site in my first few posts and it looked like this:



    They were white blobs of chewing gum
    or something covering half of the writing. I don’t know if that will help my case?

    I suggest you do what we advised in July.

    The Gladstones letter isn't saying anything new.
