SAR Request - Premier Parking Enforcement

I received a letter before claim from Gladstones so I submitted SAR request to Premier Parking as follows:-

 The response received back with 5 attachments, two of which were the front and back of the PCN and the remaining 3 were pictures of the vehicle (with me visible in one of them) the remaining two were as on the PCN. The response was as follows:-

Premier Parking Enforcement are a Parking Enforcement Company. We obtain and share personal data as far as any parking charge notice remains unpaid. 

 Data sharing will be disclosed between a number of organisations all of whom have a responsibility to comply with the current Data Protection including fairness provisions. These may include Direct Collection Bailiffs Ltd and Gladstone Solicitors Ltd and any other debt or court organisations we work with.

 The processing is necessary in relation to a contract which the individual entered into.

 All data is held on secure databases.

 - All photographic evidence enclosed.

- Data held name, address, photographs of vehicle

- email requesting subject access request along with relevant identification.

 With regards to your data held with other companies ie Independent appeals, online payment companies, you will need to contact them yourself and request the data held”.

Sorry for the long post but my question is has the parking company complied with the SAR and if not what should I say back to them.

Also my next step is to request the same from Gladstones, only because following the letter from them, I also received a text message and am a bit concerned as to where they got my telephone number, which I haven’t divulged to anyone.

    Question better raised with the ICO.

    They will have used a trace agency. We've seen many puzzled motorists asking similar questions. Send you SAR, and ask Gladstones the specific question.
    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.
