  • Keith, sorry my bad! Skim read whilst putting baby to bed!
  • Good news is that since they made a mistake and almost certainly broke data protection laws they very likely owe you money. £750 is pretty typical for this kind abuse.
     :o seriously? How do you go about this?

    Not exactly easy, calm down.  Forget that.

    I have received an email from Savills the letting agents saying human error. He said City Permits will contact me shortly to apologise. Happy with the outcome.

    Do I just leave this now or are there more suggested steps?

    Send an email complaint to the DVLA Data Sharing team about City Permits accessing your data without reasonable cause.

     Tell them you expect an investigation to find out how this happened because they have clearly not seen your car there and their VRM enhancement of images in the dark must have failed and you suggest their checks are inadequate.

    Have you complained to your MP?
    You never know how far you can go until you go too far.
  • No, thank you. He is really good too but not local to the parking ticket area if this matters?

    Parliamentary rules require that you complain to your MP, not the one where the event took place.
