TPS Advice please

I know that I can ignore these people but my problem is although the car is mine I hadn't registered it in my name at that point (docs got lost). The garage I bought it from is being hassled by the then registered owner as TPS are hassling him. Can I tell TPS that I was the owner without creating problems. Also as I'm bankrupt would they get any money anyway ?

  • Don't tell TPS anything - you have no legal obligation to tell them anything!!

    Presumably the issue is regarding a private parking 'invoice' in which case totally ignore.
    It is/was the previous RKs responsibility to inform DVLA that he/she had disposed of the vehicle-let them deal with it without any assistance from you.

    I take it that in any event you have since informed DVLA that you are now the RK.

    I certainly wouldn't contact TPS in any way, shape or form & certainly wouldn't inform them that you are now the RK - why on earth should you?

    Thank you both for your replies.I am now the RK. The previous owner is elderly and disabled and I don't want them to be hassled. The garage where I bought the car has been giving me grief over this but has obviously and rightly passed my name on to Tps,it is private parking.
  • The garage may well have breached the DPA by informing TPS of your name and address.

    No of course not, it's a scam. See my reply to your question on another thread.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
