Alliance Parking PCN – No Permit – Caer Street, Swansea
« on: »
Hello All

I've come here to ask some advice regarding a Trace Debt Recovery letter received this morning, letter dated 17 Oct 2025.

I am the registered keeper of a vehicle which Alliance Parking claimed parked without a permit on 02 December 2023.
I have not received any PCN or NtK
The only communication has been the "invoice" from Trace.

I have written to Alliance for a DSAR as I'm hoping to see that they have confirmation of any letters as I live at the address the vehicle is registered to and have not received anything from them relating to this violation from 2023.

Should I also request anything else? Is there another avenue I should follow or just await the outcome of the DSAR?

Thanks

You can safely ignore anything and everything from Trace. They are a powerless debt collector and can only try and intimidate the low-hanging fruit on the gullible tree into paying out of ignorance and fear.

Whilst a DSAR is OK, I would have advised you send a formal complaint about non-receipt of the original Notice to Keeper (NtK) and put them to strict proof of posting and asking for a copy of the original. A DSAR will get you a copy but likely without the required proof of posting. Service of the NtK is a rebuttable presumption. Whilst it is deemed to have been "given" two working days after it was issued, by rebutting that presumption, the burden of proof falls on them to prove posting or delivery.

You may want to check your V5C registration document. Often, the reason for not receiving the PCN is because after the last move, you may have failed to update the address with the DVLA. Updating a drivers licence does not automatically update the V5C.

When you receive the copy of the NtK (only the original, not any reminder, is relevant), show it to us.

Hi b789

After writing this, I did see some of your other replies and comments on MSE forums advising to make a complaint (not an appeal, and to not admit who was the driver) so I have sent an email complaint to the complaints email and cc’d myself as proof.

Have asked them for copies of all letters etc with proof of posting.

Once I have a response I will update here.

Thanks for your reply and information in the other posts.
