Who will my information be shared with?
If a parking ticket is not paid, we can request that it is registered as a debt. The Traffic Enforcement Centre at Northampton County Court require the name and address of the registered keeper of the vehicle (DVLA details) to do this. If it remains unpaid the name and address of the registered keeper will also be provided to an Enforcement Agent.

The registered keeper of a vehicle will not be obtained if a parking ticket is paid within the first 28 days. If it is not paid then we are entitled to request the detail from the DVLA.

The data will be stored for up to six months after a parking ticket has been paid, cancelled or written off. This is in case the parking ticket is overturned or a refund is required after payment.
