No, they are trying it on. But who actually gave your son's car this Parking Charge Notice? Are they on the AOS list who can get his details from the DVLA? If he ignores but then find they have written to him and by getting his details from the DVLA this is probably reportable as they have no authority to issue their fake tickets on the basis you have given(nor authority for any tickets of course).Got a ticket from ParkingEye?

If they are not on the AOS list then they cannot get the RK details from the dvla at all. Which company is it ?When posting a parking issue on MSE do not reveal any information that may enable PPCs to identify you. They DO monitor the forum.
We don't need the following to help you.
Name, Address, PCN Number, Exact Date Of Incident, Date On Invoice, Reg Number, Vehicle Picture, The Time You Entered & Left Car Park, Or The Amount of Time You Overstayed.

If they are NOT on the AOS list then completely ignore this. Do NOT appeal. If you do, you'd have just handed scammers your details on a plate!
Non-AOS parking companies cannot get DVLA data by any method. Other people can, like landowners, where there is reasonable cause - BUT NOT parking companies unless they are in the AOS.
So frame it and laugh at it!! Who's it from, can we see it and laugh at it too?!PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
