    Not really, just want them to cancel the PCN. Once they have though, if they did indeed violate my GDPR rights I might be inclined to report them to the relevant authority.

    "You don't need to. Just do what I said and TCP will cancel."

    I have a signed statement from said friend and his booking confirmation for this hotel. Also have bank statements and Apple Pay statements showing I was elsewhere that evening (which friends statement also confirms).

    Someone on another forum also suggested I request they manually check their images to verify that there are additional images their automated algorithm has ignored. What do you think of that suggestion?

    After receiving some advice on here, you now ask what we think about a "suggestion" from a different forum. What was wrong with the advice you have received above?

    Nothing wrong with it.

    In my experience it pays to get as many opinions on a topic as possible.

    and how do you then decide which is correct if the advice conflicts.

    The same way I would if two opinions were offered on this forum.

    I have appealed as suggested here with evidence and the PCN has been cancelled. Thanks for everyone’s help.
