Question around SAR response from the DVLA

AngryWatermelon123

Good evening lovely people!

I am a bit confused about some information I have received from the DVLA, after submitting a SAR request.

As my previous posts suggest, I am currently in a bit of a difficult situation at the moment, with a PPC that has issued several invoices for parking at my previous residence. These invoices are with the PPC's solicitors, some have turned into CCJs as I have moved home & some are at LBC stage, I am in the process of handling these and will post soon asking for feedback on a defence, etc etc.

In any case, in an attempt to gather as much information as possible, I have submitted a SAR to the DVLA (as per previous advice given on this forum) asking for EVERYTHING they hold on me and my previous vehicles, including which PPCs have requested my information and why. Unsurprisingly, I have received a long list of occasions when the PPC has requested my details, however I am confused about the dates aspect of the requests. I'll explain this using some examples of occurrences when the DVLA has given my data out:

Date of request: 01/12/2021
Date of Event: 06/06/2021
Reason: Breach of terms of a private car park

Date of request: 01/12/2021
Date of Event: 19/06/2021
Reason: Breach of terms of a private car park

Date of request: 01/12/2021
Date of Event: 14/09/2021
Reason: Breach of terms of a private car park

My question is: How can they issue an invoice within the required 14 days if they requested the data ~3 and ~6 months after the event? I was under the impression that under KADOE, they need to request the data for every occurrence separately and then issue an invoice within those 14 days?

The DVLA permit a PPC to request keeper data up to 6 months after the alleged evet, and the ATAs allow a further month for a PPC to issue a PCN.

The 14 days is only applicable if,

The PPC wants to hold the keeper liable, and
ANPR has been used.

Otherwise the PPC has six months to obtain keeper data and seven months to issue an ATA CoP compliant PCN.

Clearly they can't.

Is this related to either of your other two threads?
If so, please copy you post above as a reply onto that thread and allow this thread to sink into oblivion.

Thank you very much!

I'm sorry, I'm a bit confused, both of those conditions need to be met? I'm assuming all PCNs aim to hold the keeper liable, however since the car park was residential, no ANPR was used.

As a side note, that seems very convenient for the PPC...

Please post on your thread about the case.

What you seem to have missed is that PPCs don't have to use the POFA and don't have to send NTKs out within 14 days. There are two types of NTK - POFA or non-POFA.

This is not news and is already explained in the first post of the NEWBIES thread.
