Issued with parking fine because resident permit had fallen into footwell

Update on this. I instructed the parking company and their debt recovery agency to erase my address from their records. The parking company has refused to erase the old address but have said they will not use it to contact me."On this occasion, while we can confirm that your outdated address has been disabled on our system and willnot be used as your contact details, we will not be removing this data as we believe we have lawful justification to retain your personal data that does not rely on your consent."
Should I accept this? I don't really care if they hold an old address, so long as I see any letters they send. But I did specifically ask them to erase the old address. Should I insist?1 -
Yes, you should insist.

Thank you. I've sent them a templated response. I'm sure they'll still refuse to comply unfortunately. This is becoming a bit of a saga!h2g2 said:Yes, you should insist.
