One Labour MP says Wilson Parking is abusing its rights - and wants the company's access to the personal information of customers revoked.

Duncan Webb has written a letter to the Transport Minister urging NZTA to remove the ability for Wilson Parking to access the personal data they use to issue infringements.

Webb says Wilson's ability to utilise the home address and number plate details of their customers is an 'abuse of power'.

"They're claiming damages for you not paying your parking. That's the kind of language they use - an infringement, a breach notice, you can appeal it. That's the language of the courts, and that kind of misleading conduct just isn't on."
