ZZPS are not a party to any alleged parking contract and have no
standing to determine liability for any alleged contravention.
However, LDK have chosen to involve ZZPS to process personal
data obtained from the DVLA and to conduct administration,
appeals handling and enforcement activity on LDK’s behalf.
That email from ZZPS admitting that the PCN was issued with
missing dates is significant. A PCN missing mandatory
information is defective and should have been cancelled. It
cannot lawfully be “re-issued”. Re-issuing is not a correction;
it is fresh processing and fresh enforcement based on personal
data that should never have been used in the first place. That
email is an admission of fault and confirms continued processing
despite the defect being known.
Responsibility remains entirely with LDK. ZZPS are LDK’s agent.
Any data processing by ZZPS is done at LDK’s direction and for
LDK’s purposes. LDK is therefore responsible for ZZPS’s conduct
and for any unlawful processing carried out by them. Writing to
ZZPS does not legitimise them or accept their standing; it
simply puts them on notice as a data processor or joint
controller so they cannot later claim ignorance.
At this stage the issue is no longer an “appeal”. It is unlawful
obtaining and continued processing of personal data. The
objective is cancellation of the PCN, erasure of personal data,
and preserving evidence for regulatory complaints and a Data
Protection Act claim.
LDK must be put on notice, as principal, that:
[indent]• the PCN is unlawful and must be cancelled;
• ZZPS must be instructed to cease processing immediately;
• all personal data relating to the PCN must be erased, save
only for a minimal suppression record to prevent further contact
or DVLA requests;
• any third party already given the data must be instructed to
erase it; and
• failure to comply will result in a county court claim for
compensation under the Data Protection Act 2018.[/indent]
Separately, ZZPS must be served with a narrow data protection
notice only. This is not engagement on the merits of the PCN. It
is simply an instruction to stop processing and erase data. If
they continue after that notice, they expose themselves to ICO
action and civil liability regardless of what LDK does.
The only purpose of correspondence now is not to persuade LDK or
ZZPS to “do the right thing”, but to put them on formal notice
so that:
[indent]• continued processing becomes deliberate;
• regulatory complaints are supported by clear evidence; and
• a Data Protection Act claim can be issued cleanly without any
argument that they were not warned.[/indent]
ZZPS’s “re-issued today” email is excellent evidence. It shows
admission of fault, continued processing, and active
enforcement. Preserve it. It materially strengthens DVLA, ICO
and court complaints.
You now need to send two emails, one to LDK and one to the ZZPS
DPO. For LDK send the following to info@ldkgroup.co.uk and CC
compliance@ldkgroup.co.uk and yourself:
--- Quote ---
> Subject: PCN [ref] – addendum: your agent ZZPS is continuing
processing/“re-issuing”
>
> Dear LDK Group Ltd,
>
> Further to my email dated [date], I now have correspondence
from “appeals@paymyparkingcharge.com” stating that, due to an
admitted “administration fault” (missing dates), the charge has
been “re-issued” and a fresh 14-day discount period is being
demanded.
>
> This is unacceptable. ZZPS is your agent. You are responsible
for its conduct and for any processing/disclosures of my
personal data.
> You are required to instruct ZZPS immediately to cease all
processing and to erase my personal data, and to confirm to me
in writing that:
>
> [indent]- the PCN is cancelled and closed; and
> - all recipients (including ZZPS) have erased my data save for
a minimal suppression record.
> - No further demands or “re-issued” notices are to be sent by
any agent.[/indent]
>
> If you do not confirm compliance within 14 days I will proceed
with my reports and will issue a county court claim for
compensation under the Data Protection Act 2018 without further
notice.
>
> Yours faithfully,
>
> [Name]
> [Address]
--- End Quote ---
And send the following to the ZZPS DPO at
dataprotection@zzps.co.uk:
--- Quote ---
> Subject: Data rights notice – cease processing and erase my
data (LDK PCN [ref] / VRM [ ])
>
> FAO Data Protection Officer, ZZPS Ltd,
>
> I do not recognise ZZPS as having any standing to pursue any
alleged parking charge. This notice concerns data protection
only.
>
> You are processing my personal data in relation to an alleged
LDK Group Ltd PCN and you have now stated the charge has been
“re-issued”. I formally object to that processing (UK GDPR
Article 21) and require you to restrict processing immediately
(Article 18) and to erase my personal data relating to this PCN
(Article 17).
>
> You must confirm within 14 days that:
>
> [indent]1. you have erased my personal data relating to this
PCN; and
> 2. you have not disclosed it to any third party, or if you
have, you have instructed each recipient to erase it and cease
processing, and you have complied with Article 19.[/indent]
>
> The only permitted retention is a minimal suppression record
solely to ensure ZZPS does not contact or process my data again
regarding this PCN. If you claim any other retention, identify
the data fields, lawful basis, and retention period.
>
> Failure to comply will be reported to the ICO and I will
pursue compensation under the Data Protection Act 2018 without
further notice.
>
> Yours faithfully,

> [Name]
> [Address]

I was so busy and did not even get a chance to send the previous
one or two letters you provided. And now received that one.
Should I still send the older ones?

In light of the recent CMA ruling regarding Euro car parks, this
needs to be taken to the CMA, as per post #9 in this topic from

The ZZPS response is nonsense - the PCN was issued illegally and
was a blatant misuse of Keeper Data from the DVLA.
There is no way that a PCN can be issued if a vehicle is not on
the operators land - no contract is ever formed.
Make sure this gets escalated.
Also contact the local authority and point out that the parking
operator is issuing private PCNs to vehicles which are on the
public highway.
