Pretty much sums up the UK Government. Other, stronger words are available.

Yes the parking company can access your info held at the DVLA for a small fee however, there must be a legitimate reason for them to be able to do this and they would have had to submit a reason when applying for your data.

In your case they knew prior to requesting your data that no offence had been committed as they had access to you leaving the car park and returning later. In this case you could make a complaint to the Information Commissioner Office. The link with all the info you need is here,

Thanks Nanu, I will use that the register a complaint. Anything I can do to cause Britannia Parking any kind of grief works for me

I hate parking companies and would defo send a complaint - the only saving grace is they did not fight but they should never have got this far, they rely on people just stumping up the cash.

Can they sell the debt on as I am nit certain it is a debt as they don't really have any legal standing or am I mistaken

No they can’t sell the debt on, certainly not until they get a court judgement against you. After that I am not sure about the whole debt collector angle.

Great result but the scourge of these robbers has no limits. I changed cars and parked up a few months ago and paid for parking but accidentally put in my old car reg. received a PCN and having consulted various oracles was stuffed. Yes I could have fought it but case law is that it isd the contract for the car you enter and not you...........

I would have fought it via the POPLA. It costs nothing, all the template letters are available online and whilst it's been considered payment is put on hold. A reasonable mistake which on most occasions POPLA take into consideration. I suspect the parking company would not have even disputed it as it's not worth their while.
