... and don't finish a formal letter with "regards" it should be "yours faithfully"2
-
If you're going to use ChatGPT, at least do some editing that takes out all the mushy niceties. Sentences like "I appreciate your attention to my request" are typical bovine testicles that the lawyers have insisted the system should use so as not to cause any offence.
You need to be going in forcefully and letting them know that you will not be bullied or fobbed off by them. Why are you "appreciating" their attention to your SAR request only now? You should tell them that it is too late and that they should "appreciate" the fact that the ICO has now been informed and they can expect a response from them.
Why are you signing a letter which is threatening legal recourse with "Regards"? This is not social media with all the associated luvvy duvvie excrement. Sign any formal letter with "Yours faithfully,".
You should have already initiated your ICO complaint. Here is a link you can use to start it:

Don't use idle threats as they will use this against you. Just do it.6 -

ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST!
Now, we need YOU to get involved. One favour please: don't go just yet!
We need you - as a genuine PPC victim of aggression, sharp practice and an 'extortion' attempt to add £70 - to respond robustly to the Public Consultation on the level of parking charges and banning of the false added DRA 'fee' that too many honest motorists currently fall victim to.
It will need consumer input (powerful voices) but change is afoot. It's taken about 5 years to get to this stage:

And then the industry threw victims' money at it and blocked and delayed it - explained here:

Please now Bookmark BOTH threads and set up email alerts on your posting profile, so that you get an email alert when we post there, as we will, once the Public Consultation opens.
...anticipated very soon...end of July we think.
We need people like you and your driving family & friends to respond in high numbers!
You have a personal story to tell about the culture of greed that inflates parking charges to line the pockets of roboclaim bullyboy 'legal' firms, and incentivises court as a cheaper form of debt collection than the PPC making proper efforts to engage with the consumer,
I am sure you want your voice heard to stop this happening again.PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

5 star performance @fivestarsamz - you're now part of the storyline in the DCB Legal discontinuation thread. Well done.Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .
I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.
