Hi all,
I've received the attached letter and wasn't sure what it was about until I called up and they explained it was due to an unpaid parking ticket back in 2024.

Any advice on what I should do next please?

Can I send a version of the below to this, changing the location of the car park?Dear Sirs,
Your ref: xxxxxxx
I am the registered keeper but I wasn't driving the car. Kindly revert to NCP with the following:
I have researched the PoFA 2012, which I realise does not apply at Gatwick Airport. NCP must cancel and erase my data, as I am not the liable party and I decline their belated request to name the driver.
Had NCP bothered to actually post the 'ghost PCNs' x2 (original and reminder revealed in the SAR reply but which miraculously BOTH never arrived - or existed...?) I'd have told them the above fact and they could have avoided this waste of time threatogram model.
Put up or shut up.
If you persist in processing my data and in the event of filing a court claim, take note that I will file a Part 20 counterclaim for not less than £500. This will be claimed as damages for distress arising as a result of clear breaches of the DPA 2018 and/or the Protection From Harassment Act 1997.
I will rely upon the case of Simon Clay v Civil Enforcement Ltd and similar cases that have succeeded. Cancel the PCN and crawl back under your respective stones forthwith
Preferably tell your client from me to crack on with cleaning up their act to comply with the incoming statutory Code of Practice. Groundbreaking improvements would include issuing future Notices of Parking Charge properly and engaging fairly, avoiding involving bulk litigators like you lot in this 'extorting money from motorists' model outed by the DLUHC as a market failure.
yours faithfully,1 -
