Court Action - Civil Enforcement Limited (CEL) parking with 'No Permit'

Le_Kirk

You should use "on an unremarkable day some xxx months/years ago".  ANPR will never show photographs of occupants of a car just the VRM on the number plate (unless it was CCTV).

 I refer you to the following case law:

You should write in the third person so "I" becomes "the Defendant".  I think your paragraph 4 should be given more importance and you should explain why they fail POFA - the judge might not be up to speed on it.  Also separate it from the "barrage of threatening letters, it is a separate subject.

Just on the SAR.

I have sent that to CEL (albeit rather late as the case is up and running!).
The suggestion is to also send a copy to the legal rep if they are using one.

CEL have used QDR Solicitors in previous threat letters but the actual CC Claim Form does not mention them. It does refer to this guy 'S Wilson, Head of Legal (https://uk.linkedin.com/in/scott-wilson-88ab3a20) as the Claimant's Legal Rep.

Do I need to send an SAR to anyone else too?

Just send to CEL to get the personal data they hold on you. But if you want to give QDR a bit of 'payback' for the bother they've caused you, send them one too. It costs you nothing but they will have to dig out everything and respond to you within 30 days, as the law requires of them.

Where is the suggestion that you send a SAR to anyone other than the parking company?

CEL don't use an external firm of solicitors - except for getting them to send threatening, but harmless, debt collectors letters.

There is no advice on here about sending a SAR to the Legal representative , just to the DPO at the PPC (parking company)

Immediately above your post @KeithP 😊. Just payback rather than any expectation of useful data.

Ex head of Wonga legal team. The pedigree is already there!

This OP hasn't read enough CEL  threads if they didn't know about Wongaman!

No sorry it was this text that I'd seen in the Newbies section:

As well as the SAR to the parking firm's DPO, also write another email, if they are using Gladstones, DCLegal, BW Legal or other solicitor.
Your email tells the solicitor:
(a) I am seeking debt advice but I deny any debt and the case must be put 'on hold' for not less than 30 days under the PAP for debt claims 2017.
(b) I have sent your client a SAR
(c) also confirm your correct 'address for service' if you've moved and the PPC has two addresses.

But as you've confirmed they aren't using the external QDR solicitors

Yes I was thinking of asking him to head up the team at a possible new venture, webuyyourgranny.com but I thought he might not be morally bankrupt enough ha
