Six months later I have heard nothing from them. I was confident of this as they were not members of BPA or IPC so can't get details. I see both of these are no longer showing a members lists on the web. Is that to thwart us ?

Just a follow up post. It is now just over two months and I have had no contact from PPL (as we suspected would happen) so I shall assume the matter is closed. Thanks for all the advice. Owl

Does anyone know what grounds a company/individual could get keeper details from DVLA if they don't belong to any of the trade associations ? Or does anyone have experience of them getting the info that we think they should not have been able to ? Cheers Owl

Thanks armadillo71. I'll see what I can do wrt a picture

I got the ticket on Sunday. Is that important ? BTW, how much detail should I add here? I was a bit reluctant to add more detail since if I were one of these companies I would be checking what my victims were planning or being advised to do on forums like this. Thanks

Firstly, thanks for providing this service. I got a PCN from Premier Parking Logistics when I forgot to display a ticket late at night in an empty car park. £100 or £85 in 14 days. At the time I felt like I'd been mugged but now I feel like taking on these people (not allowed to name call on the forum I assume!) Now I have read around this forum and some others and I have no intention of paying. Here is my reasoning: As far as I know PPL are not a member of BPA or IPC so should not have automatic access to my details at the DVLA. What are the chances the DVLA will still give my details out ? There is no point making an appeal as these never win and POPLA does not apply as they are not BPA. They just wan't to frighten me into making a payment - It seems like a fishing expedition to me. Now I have seen lots of 'do not ignore' advice on here but in this case talking to them is likely to be futile (pointless appeal) and just provide them with name and address details to harass me with. If they do get my details then I'll quite happily see them in court and argue it there. 10 minutes in an empty car park does not amount to £100 loss in my opinion. So, am I missing anything or does this sound like a reasonable plan? Any advice gratefully received. Owl
