Published record
What is on the public record.
This page lists published figures and official positions. A data request is not a finding that a company broke the law. NoticeClear does not decide that.
Keeper data
- The DVLA may release keeper details to a private parking company that shows reasonable cause, under Regulation 27 of the Road Vehicles (Registration and Licensing) Regulations 2002. The fee published for that release is £2.50.
- Churchill Motor Insurance, from a freedom-of-information extract, reported 7.7 million requests in the first half of 2024/25, and about 12.8 million in 2023/24. ParkingEye, Euro Car Parks and Horizon were among the largest requesters in that extract.
- In 2022 the ICO said the DVLA had named the wrong lawful basis for those disclosures. It took no enforcement action. The ICO did not say the charges were invalid.
- On 30 October 2025 the Department for Transport said it had no plan to remove the private-parking request route.
What a case can still test
- Whether the notice to keeper met the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012, Schedule 4, paragraph 8 or paragraph 9 timetable.
- Whether the mandatory wording was there.
- Whether the land was relevant land.
- Whether the Single Code of Practice point relied on was in force for that site. The joint code has applied since 1 October 2024. Signage at existing sites has a transition to 31 December 2026.
Nothing on this page is a judgment against a named company. A ground is used only where the documents support it.
