The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) does not impose fines for non-compliance with contracts applying to Keeper at Date of Event enquiries.

Private parking companies that do not comply with contractual terms can have their facility to request vehicle keeper data suspended.

The table below shows the number and proportion of private parking companies suspended in each of the last three financial years:
