Autosec Parking details?

OK, to the point first, is there a website for Autosec regarding the parking notices? 

Reason why and some background.....

Back in 2016 i was given a parking notice, it was from a hotel that you had to register your vehicle with reception to park in the car park, which i did, and they claimed i didn't. i appealed the ticket and heard nothing else from Autosec, the next letter i had was from TNC parking to get the money from me. Fast forward and i am now getting letters from dcb legal, the latest one being a formal letter of claim, so i checked on here, read through the newbie post and it tells me to use the website of the PCN to find their privacy details and send them a Subject Access request, the trouble is that i can't find a website for them anywhere to get the information to send that to 

The only details i have for them is a PO Box address that was on the TNC letter from back in 2016 and i can't find anything on google to suggest that they are even on that address any more or indeed if they are still trading? If they are no longer trading then where does that leave any possible court action from dcb legal? will they bother? are they just trying to get some money with no leg to stand on? 

If anyone has an up to date website to use for them then i will gladly keep going with the info in the newbie thread, but at the moment i am stuck on what to do.

Cheers

    TNC are a debt collection service.  What happened when you complained to the hotel?

    They must have a privacy policy, by law.

    Is it Peter DelGrosso's bunch?  Not sure they are an AOS member any more:

    This thread is useful and it gives an email address:

    They are not a member of the BPA because they are winding up the business and have have already passed on their franchises (for want of a better word) to other similar businesses. This is why there is a glut of debt recovery letters going out right now. A final payday...

    autosec.co is their email. I'm bouncing stuff back and forwards with them. Don't expect anything from the SAR you send as the insist on pointing you to their payment portal.

    What's the full email address, that doesn't look like it was typed correctly?

    Wow, what a strange e-mail address  (suitable for a strange parking company).  Thanks for the update I will add it to my database (well it's just a list really!).
  • Autosec don’t have a Website. Just a payment page.  
    He is no longer a paid up member of the BPA, I have written confirmation. 

    Have you heard anything else?
  • Try info@autosec.co. He's refused to talk to me now. I've been directed to DCB Legal for everything. He flat out refused to send me anything so I've let DCB Legal know they'll look stupid if they take me to court as he has no evidence.
