Are you the registered keeper of the vehicle?

If so, you should send a Subject Access Request to DVLA to find out when (and by whom) your data was accessed from the date of the parking in 2021 to now. The form is here: Make a subject access request to DVLA.

It will be interesting to see when GXS accessed your data.

If you were feeling particularly belligerant, you could include an invoice for £100, reduced to £60 for prompt payment, for your time.

I wouldn't. Tempting as it may be, meeting an unenforceable charge with an unenforceable charge probably isn't the way to go.

Thanks, that’s really helpful. The date did cause a double take 

I think this has to be a record - to transfer liability to keeper, POFA requires notice to be sent within 14 days; this one is 1855 days (plus postage time)!!

A simple appeal (as keeper only!) ,but I would lay it on thick about the delay:



As keeper of vehicle VRM XXXX  I am receipt of you parking charge notice relating to an alleged event on 19/03/21.  You are no doubt aware that to transfer liability from the driver to the keeper your notice needs to comply with the requirements of the Protection of Freedoms Act - which you have spectacularly failed to do; the requirement is 14 days, not the 1855 you are trying it on with.

I will not be accepting your invitation to pay the charge, nor naming the driver.  You have no route for enforcement of this charge against me as keeper and I expect the charge to be cancelled with immediate effect.

Once they have cancelled (even I doubt they will try this on further) I would make a complaint to IPC about their laughable behaviour.  It will go no where of course.  If you were feeling particularly belligerant, you could include an invoice for £100, reduced to £60 for prompt payment, for your time.

Hi

I’ve been reading this thread.

https://www.ftla.uk/private-parking-tickets/please-help-received-a-claim-form-from-court/45/

I am in the same position.

Just recieved the court claim letter. 

I am completely liable for this parking notice. They do not know this. I have ignored all letters.

Would following your advice encourage DBL to discontinue before a hearing. Or would I actually have to be not liable.(I have no defence)

They are not relying on PoFA so there is no keeper liability in this instance.
