Please all report your cases to CIVEA and Action Fraud. And to your local Police, showing the email from Sara Roberts at thd BPA which confirms this is a scam that Action Fraud should be handling properly.
Also please give some thought to where you input your car details and home address and name/phone number online, in recent weeks.
Have you all used the same:
- car insurance websites?
- airport parking?
- new phone app to pay for parking?
PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

@Coupon-mad again not sure i agree , since the people involved have a very wide geographic spread in the UK which would make using the same airport parking firm unlikely
As i now have time i am going to go the Burton On Trent Address on Friday and see what i can suss out.
Well ive got the landlords name and address of the property found out the company he owns which is a genuine one, got his mobile number and found him on WhatsApp, sent him a message and will see what he says in the morning5 -

...In recent months, if not the last year or two.If I had been behind this, then the longer play would be, er in playBBC WatchDog “if you are struggling with an unfair parking charge do get in touch”
Please then tell us here that you have done so.2 -
What i am also thinking is this, who ever occupies the address in Question in Burton is involved in one of two ways
1 the data leak
2. the parking industry
3. Or the option which i hope isn't the case, is the landlords address is one the data leaked addresses, but unlikely since he changed his address with companies house about 4 years ago

- car insurance websites?
- airport parking?
- new phone app to pay for parking?I got private hire car insurance quote from Zego and some others recently. I’ve not parked in any airport since I’ve had this car.I haven’t used any new app to pay for parking as I only got this car 6 months ago and didn’t need one yet. Only used RingGo and AppyParking2 -
This is the reply from Zego.

They will be duty bound to investigate it as they are FCA regulated2 -
@Coupon-madIf they were the source of the data leak then would the company then have vicarious liability towards any victims who have paid up?2
