Class One Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 This is quite common, that people get their number plates nicked from a rural area then some toser drives around London all day not paying the charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrianBunning Posted July 22, 2005 Author Share Posted July 22, 2005 The thing is the reg isnt even the same as my supe or our fiesta, its just been registered here, i had a look on the dvla site and it was registered at our address about 3 weeks before we moved, in but it definitely wasnt the previous houseowners either. Oh well ill wait and see what TFL and the DVLA have to say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well ill wait and see what TFL and the DVLA have to say I'd send a reply......chuck it in an envelope with 'not known at this address' and send it back! Otherwise you're going to spend time and money trying to explain to some chump from the DVLA that it's not you, or your car! You'll probably have to send off all sorts of forms, visit offices and stations and get treated like a criminal because someone else is taking the piss and they (DVLA) can't do anything about it.

Already done all that, i.e. Called TFL told them that i dont own a/the van and they said i need to send back the appeal form which is included with the PCN (have done this) I also called the DVLA who advised me to put in writing what had happened (letter below) just a pain in the arse cos some git is driving about totting up fines etc and im getting all the bloody hassle, oh and to top it off you can see clearly from the picture with the fine that he wasn't even wearing a seatbelt!!! anyway heres the letter i wrote to the DVLA 21st July 2005 Dear Sir/Madam I am writing regarding a Penalty Charge Notice I received yesterday from TFL (see enclosed). According to your records the vehicle registration number K198 SKM Citroen C 15D Van is registered to a Mr. John at my address. The only people currently residing at the above address are my Fiancée Miss ******** and myself; neither of us own the aforementioned van. I took the liberty of using your online checking system to see when the vehicle last changed owners and according to your records this was 15/11/04. Miss *******and myself moved into this house on the 6th December 2004 and the previous owners were a Mr ********and Mrs ********* It seems from the above evidence that someone is fraudulently using our address in order to evade fines etc. Please could you update your records accordingly and provide me with written confirmation so that I may forward this to TFL. Thank you in advance for your time. Best regards Brian Bunning ENC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
