Hello everyone. I’ve spent the last couple of days trying to digest the Newbie guidance. Sorry if I get the terminology wrong here!
Short story: received a letter from ZZPS demanding £170. No NPK received at any point from TPS.
Short story: received a letter from ZZPS demanding £170. No NPK received at any point from TPS.
So far I have emailed my MP plus the people I think own/ lease the land complaining and asking them to contact TPS to rescind the ticket.
I think the next thing I need to do is contact TPS asking for a SAR?
1. Is this correct?
2. Does anyone have an email contact for TPS (data protection?)
3. is the below template the correct one to use?

Thanks in advance!
Dear Sir/Madam:
I am writing to you in your capacity as data protection officer for your company - Company Name. I have reason to believe you hold personal data on myself as a vehicle I own and am the registered keeper for visits car parking sites managed by your company. I think it needs to be said here how they collect that data - eg "Such data is collected by your ANPR camera systems". It should be noted that contrary to article 13 of GDPR legislation no privacy information was provided to myself, the data subject, at the time of collection. I am therefore compelled into making this request for access to personal data pursuant to Article 15 of the General Data Protection Regulation which, as you will be aware, came into force on 25 May 2018.
The vehicle in question is a Vehicle Model with VRM: VRM.
I have attached the V5 document to prove I am the registered keeper. Should you require further documentation necessary to verify my identity please contact me. [is it sensible to request specifically that once they have read the V5 they securely dispose of it and do not retain it? Otherwise you're giving them your data aren't you? - eg "You do not have my consent to retain this document, please dispose of it securely once you have read it"]
I would like you to be aware at the outset, that I anticipate a reply to my request within one month as required under Article 12, failing which I will be forwarding my inquiry with a letter of complaint to the Information Commissioners Office (ICO).
Please advise as to the following:
Yours Sincerely,
Name

V5C is definitely correct1

You don't ASK for a SAR, you submit one, it is a Subject Access Request, however,as advised, you don't do it until/if you receive a N1 claim form.3

Thanks. I wasn’t sure if I needed to access the “evidence” from Total Parking solutions, but I assume because I am at the debt collector stage I don’t need to bother with that.0

You dont do it until say 3 months after any future court claim, not before, ignorance is bliss2
