OK she should have noticed the sign but can a private company acquire her details from DVLA and how can they "fine". They are not magistrates.
The lass is seventeen and a new driver.
Who knows who these peepers are and are they the sort who would turn up at her house and peep at her there.

I ASSUME if she has parked on private land and breached terms made by the owner (clearly sign posted,she will have entered into a (assumed) contract with the landowner) then the owner (or someone authorised by them) may give her a parking ticket.
This might look like an official "fixed penalty" but it's a 'notice' that the owner of the car park intends to take her to a civil court, and they will offer to let you pay the £100 to settle the case out of court. It'd be a civil matter and if she was prepared to fight it all the way there is a (slim) chance of them dropping it........I'd also assume the parking operators will have a deal with the DVLA were the DVLA sell her info to them for a fee.
All assumptions though G
