Coupon-mad

In addition to my above comment. The pay by card system was not working so the charge was issued incorrectly but Minster Baywatch say they are keeping my dvla information despite the charge being issued incorrectly. Is there any action I can take.

Yes, complain to their Data Protection Officer by email as set out in their data privacy webpage and tell them you will report them to the ICO if they do not erase your data immediately.

And then report them to the ICO online but you have to have exhausted the matter first with the trader by complaint about not erasing your data.

Please comment on the government consultation concerning parking charges and complain to your MP about the proposal to allow fake add on debt recovery costs.

There’s only 3 weeks left!

Government Consultation re private parking charge levels, August 2021: PLEASE BOOKMARK THIS THREAD — MoneySavingExpert Forum

We are calling for everyone to do a full and robust response by email to the MHCLG, attaching evidence of what happened to you and what you think is wrong about £100 charges and fake debt recovery ‘fees’ that no PPC actually incurs or pays. 

We also need people to contact their MP to ask questions about why the MHCLG appear to have performed a U-turn on their March promise to cap parking charges, and why instead they propose to fund the race to court at £70 a pop? 

Posters are being encouraged to ask their MPs to ask questions about why  PPCs have been allowed to persuade the MHCLG that they can add £70 per PCN for sending the same letters ParkingEye always do.  

I know yours is not P/Eye but Minster Baywatch are ex clampers who DO currently add unrecoverable ‘costs’!  Object vociferously to your MP and the MHCLG.

That would be handing ParkingEye maybe £70m extra per annum from public pockets!

To anyone reading this: 

PLEASE DO THIS IF YOU WANT CONSUMER VOICES TO OUTWEIGH THE PARKING INDUSTRY’S GREED. WHICH SEES THEM TRY TO CLAIM MORE THAN THE LAW ALLOWS, FROM A REGISTERED KEEPER.

The proposals breach primary law!  I just looked at the POFA Explanatory Notes (part of the legislation):

https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2012/9/notes/division/5/1/3/3

221.Paragraph 4 provides that the creditor has a right to recover unpaid parking charges from the keeper of the relevant vehicle if the conditions set out in paragraphs 5, 6, 11 and 12 are satisfied. The creditor is not obliged to pursue unpaid parking charges through this scheme and may seek to do so through other means but they may not use the scheme provided for here to secure double recovery of unpaid parking charges (paragraph 4(6)), nor will they have the right to pursue the keeper, as opposed to the driver, of the vehicle where they have sufficient details of the driver’s identity. The right to reclaim unpaid parking charges from the vehicle keeper does not apply in cases where the vehicle has been stolen before it was parked, (paragraphs 4(2) to (3)), or in certain circumstances where the vehicle in question was a hire vehicle (paragraph 4(7)). The creditor may not make a claim against the keeper of a vehicle for more than the amount of the unpaid parking related charges as they stood when the notice to the driver was issued (paragraph 4(5)
