7 Parking tickets!!!!
Comments
-
Send them an email, but do it one for each fake ticket. IMO they should be dealing with this 7 times. But I would wait until you get the notice to keeper on all of them. The reason is that they should get registered keeper details 7 times and pay for it. If they don't its a failure of the protection of freedoms act 2012. Once you got them all you email the dvla and ask them if they asked for this data multiple timesWhen posting a parking issue on MSE do not reveal any information that may enable PPCs to identify you. They DO monitor the forum.

Am I sending the letter in writing as a letter to their address or as an email to them?
Do I keep photocopies of what I send them
Do I send the letter as recorded delivery
etc?
You have the Notice to Keeper x 7 don't you, as these were all posted to you? So do as advised and either post ONE letter (normal 1st class post if there is no email option) or preferably email seven separate times, I would suggest with gaps of whole days in between so they do not all get handled by the same person. E.g. one email this weekend for the oldest one, then one every other day perhaps by email until you have sent them all.
You could even use a different email addy for each one and a different version of your name too if you want to try to keep it less obvious that these are all from the same person.
Not suggesting you hide at all as this is nowt to worry about and the important appeal comes at POPLA stage for each one. I'm just picturing the sad/deluded employees in the office dealing with the emails and best not to make it obvious they are the same person at first glance of email address (also make the subject line differently worded every time, one in capitals with location of car park maybe, next one headed up 'parking ticket appeal' etc.).PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

Dear Scammers,
In regards to the invoice received with ref number xxxxxx dated xxxxxx, the keeper denies all liability to your company, if you reject this challenge the keeper requires within 35 days a popla verification code for them to appeal independently, per Version 2 of the BPA Code of Practice.
The keeper has nothing further to add, and will not respond to any correspondence from your company unless it contains the popla code. If you wish to find out why the keeper rejects all liability, pay the £27 plus vat to popla to find out
The challenge will be deemed accepted if there is no popla code on any rejection that you supply within the timeframe stipulated above.
Yours Faithfully

You are challenging this as the keeper, and not admitting anything. It's important not to give information that can be construed as the driver. The reason your name in print is that they don't have your signature either. The template is something that took me 5 minutes to come up with.
It's just a soft challenge to the scammers and offers them nothing, it just shows that you know this little scam they got going and they have to either drop it or give you the popla code at a cost to them. They are almost obliged to give in to your demands.When posting a parking issue on MSE do not reveal any information that may enable PPCs to identify you. They DO monitor the forum.

Edit your post to remove any information giving clues to the driver and number of tickets.
Did all the tickets arrive at once or were there gaps between? If they all arrived at once they may have tried to cut corners and get your details from the DVLA once. This is not allowed and could get them into trouble.
Do not reply until 14 days have elapsed since the last parking incident so they do not have time to correct their error.Dedicated to driving up standards in parking0
