Operator Not IPC/BPA Accredited
To access DVLA keeper data, parking operators must be members of an accredited trade association (IPC or BPA). Non-members cannot legally obtain keeper details and should not be issuing NtKs.
Legal basis
DVLA's Keeper at Date of Event (KADOE) service rules; Private Parking Code of Practice 2024.
How to identify this in your case
Check IPC and BPA member directories. Request confirmation of membership from the operator. Check if the operator's name appears on official registers.
Sample appeal wording
Upon investigation, I have found that [OPERATOR NAME] is not listed as a current member of either the International Parking Community (IPC) or British Parking Association (BPA). I request that the operator provides evidence of current accreditation. If they cannot, they have no legitimate access to DVLA keeper data, and this NtK has been issued without proper authority.
Replace [PARKING DATE], [NtK DATE] etc. with your own dates before sending.
