CP Plus SAR request

[DottiD]

Dear all, just looking for a bit of guidance and next steps ... I have had a letter of intent land from DCB legal intending to claim a parking charge from 22/10/15 at Strensham services I was registered keeper but it was a company car I sent an SAR request to CPPlus/Group Nexus on the 11/2/21 they answered with details from the same vehicle but from 2014 ( I believe that is now over the 6 yrs) and despite repeated request have supplied no more information relating to the alleged parking charge, I phoned DCB legal and explained I had received incorrect info, they said they would get it and to fill in the claim form anyway , but my question is what do I write on the claim form ?

NO PHONING!

So there is no PCN/NTK/NTH about that time? Shame you told them they had got it wrong.

Has the identity of the driver been admitted? Is this a lease car?

Have you got a claim form from Northampton yet?

[DottiD]

I have no idea what arrived in 2015, I am not with the company anymore either , it was a lease car but registered in my name with the dvla, but I haven’t said I was the driver because I genuinely have no idea if I was , we used to drive each other’s cars and my colleague lived in Pershore and I live in Wales so it could be someone other than myself, was it an error to say they had not produced the correct pictures ?

[DottiD]

Yes I have the claim form from Northampton

[ostell]

So if it was a lease car then you could not be the registered keeper, that would be the lease company. You would probably have been named as the hirer.

I suspect you got a Notice to Hirer, or your company did. There should have been a copy of the hire agreement and initial NTK included. Was there?

[DottiD]

Hi , no it is a lease agreement with zenith provecta I think then for tax purposes the vehicle was registered in our names and the company give you a car allowance , so the notice would come straight to me.

[ostell]

So your name was on the V5?

[ostell]

So if the dates don't agree then they would have no case.

[DottiD]

You never get to hold the V5 Zenith hold them I guess but I assume they must be ? I wondered rather cynically if they gave me the wrong information on the SARS on purpose although I don’t see the point. Also if they don’t hold the photographic evidence I assume I still have to fill in the court papers ? What boxes do I fill in ? At what point do DCB tell me they are dropping the case due to lack of evidence

[ostell]

DCBL won't drop the case, they get no money that way.

You acknowledge the claim on day 5 or shortly after using the details on the form. Nothing in the defence. This gives you 33 days from date of issue to get your defence to the court.

So if the documents that you have received are stating that the alleged breach was 2014 then you have a simple defence:- Statute barred. Over 6 years from when the debt was due. Shame you've warned them and they will try to correct.

[DottiD]

Thank you, you have been very helpful, yes it is unfortunate I engaged with them but I stupidly thought if they couldn’t produce the evidence they wouldn’t proceed

[ostell]

So what is the PCN that they produced? Post it up suitably redacted but leave dates.

[DottiD]

[DottiD]

This is what I was accused of originally
