Thank you both for clearing that up for me, i appreciate it.

I have just sent off the SAR to the company and their representative law firm.

Following the newbies thread as advised, am i right in thinking that i now sit back and wait? or have i missed anything that I now need to do in the meantime?

Thank you.

SAR to the DPO at the PPC , not the legals

30 days hold notice to the legals , or to the PPC if they are doing their own legal work

Sit back and wait , do the government consultation survey ASAP , if not done already

Done and done thanks.

How long do they have to send a court claim form (ie the next step)? for example to they have a cut off time or can they pop up out of nowhere a few months/ years down the line? thanks.

Also can seem to find the government consultation survey? is this the one you are on about:

Hi all,

Just wondering how long they have until they can proceed with formal court proceedings. E.g can i be expected to not hear back for months/years or do they have to pursue this within a set time period? thanks

The Limitations Act 1980 limits legal action to 6 years in England and Wales

hi all, you will never guess what. VCS have been reading the forums and have sent a new invoice hahah! instead the contravention code is as follows:

18) VEHICLE PARKED IN A PERMIT AREA WHILST NOT REGISTERED AS A VALID PERMIT HOLDER FOR THE CAR PARK/SITE.

hahahaha seems like they are doing their homework. So they have started sending through their initial "scary letters" from the beginning again.

in their letter they state they can "confirm due to an administrative error during the initial issuing of the parking charge, the contravention on the notice was incorrect"

same crap different day

So those clowns dropped another boll**K chasing you and now want another bite at thr cherry?!?  All the mote ammo to beat them at court with and more evidence of unreasonable behaviour to present to the judge. Their names are mud with most judges and they took 2 big spanking in court this week. I don't know why they are so greedy, incompetent, hypocritical, dishonest, unscrupulous, vindictive, self entitled and feel they can act above the law!?! They need a Civil Restraint Order as they've been abusing our court system for years!

Read Bargepoles thread of yesterday.

The NTK will be too late for keeper liability to apply then.

Administrative error?

They expect you to ignore their administrative error?

Did their letter go on to say that "due to this unfortunate mistake we have cancelled the parking charge"?

Will they be ignoring any administrative errors you have made or might make?
I think not.
