    They can cancel whenever they want, when they discontinue just before a hearing, that is cancellation

    You are right there.  What I meant was in regards to a landowner cancellation. Some parking companies have a contract clause with landowners saying they will have to bear the brunt of an admin charge/ penalty fee themselves if they wish to cancel a customers PCN once its gone past debt collection/ court stage. They are pretty much on to the debt collector agencies before the initial 28 days is up. Not all firms have this so it is definitely worth trying still. A lot of landowners have Contractual Overrides where what they say goes no matter how far its gone. Always worth doing plan A.

    If they don't play ball or won't help then expose them with a candid review on Trustpilot, Trip Advisor or their Social Media platforms as well as Local Community Groups on social media to warn others.

    A quick update - The parking company don’t seem to know what they’re doing. 

    In reply to my SAR, they stated that they had already denied my appeal and can’t accept this as another appeal. They also stated that in my first denial, I was informed that I could appeal to the IAS, however, this simply isn’t true as they completely failed to miss that piece of information from the letter and instead asked for me to provide them with further evidence. 

    What do you wise people recommend that I do next? 

     I’ve drafted a reply as they seem to be tying themselves into knots here. 

    I’ve been in contact with a local councillor, who commented that I wasn’t the first to complain to her about a similar issue.

    Frankly that's their problem and not the OP's. If landowners want to sign up to such disadvantageous contracts, that's their lookout. Don't let them say "there's nothing we can do", when they really mean "there's nothing we can do without it costing us."
    As per above, if not already mentioned where is this car park?
    Also any luck with Google maps timeline as previous post?

    My instinct would be to come down on the landowner like a ton of bricks

    Have you made the complaints to the ICO and DVLA about this data breach as suggested? 

    Did you complain to your MP?

    I would go back to them and state that a SAR is not an appeal but is your statutory right (under GDPR) to receive all the data that the PPC holds on you and they must supply it or be reported to the ICO.  What does this mean, it is a double negative and makes no sense!

    Sorry, I’m on holiday and trying to do this on my phone. It should have said that they completely failed to include that piece of information.
