If you look at the British Parking Association's website: http://www.britishparking.co.uk,& look under Headlines on the home page it says that from October 2007 DVLA will only disclose registration details to members of an Accredited Trade Association. At present BPA is the only accredited trade association. Parkforce is not a member of BPA. It remains to be seen if Parkforce is a member of an association which joins by October 2007

Have now received a letter from a firm of debt collectors asking for £135 on behalf of Parkforce. Have replied saying debt is disputed (2) DVLA is tightening up again on giving names & addresses of car owners. Parkforce is not a member of the trade association to which inquirers now have to belong. Kilcott

Thank you, Bella 47 & pcnbob If I hear any more from the UK Parking Enforcement Agency, I shall post it here Kilcott

Thank you. If I hear anything from Parkforce, I shall post it here Kilcott

Thank you for the prompt reply, Phantom Reclaimer. Have you heard any more from Parkforce? Any debt agency or County Court summons? (2) In the meantime I have looked at their website. They do not say they are a limited company;"agency" again. I have complained to Companies' House about their omission of "Ltd", because it is so misleading Kilcott

Have Phantom Reclaimer & Bella 47 heard any more from Parkforce? I have written to them saying there was no contract; or, if so, it was unenforceable under the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977. Also, that penalties are unenforceable at common law. I also take exception to the terms of their notices. They assert that court costs will be payable. This is untrue. Any claim would be in the Small Claims Court where costs are not payable by the loser. Also they do not state that they are a limited company on some of their correspondence, as required by the Companies Acts. They use the word "Agency" which implies that they are a government agency like the DVLA or the Passport Agency. I hope that a defence of the correct legal position will stop them in their tracks. Has it worked forPhantom Disclaimer & Bella 47? Kilcott
