Response from the DVLA

"We can confirm that First Point Solutions Ltd are not members of either Approved Operator Scheme and therefore would not be able to access Registered Keeper data from DVLA."

So who is going to ask them what offence they think the registered keeper would be convicted of and any bets on what their answer might be?

Nice touch that they accept payment via Paypal but I don't see any company registration details on their website.

Tempting, but the sensible thing is to keep your head and your friend's head down and remain anonymous and take satisfaction in knowing they ain't getting a penny.

Yeah very true. I will contact trading standards in Somerset and copy in the DVLA for their information. That will be satisfying!

Yes, I would too, in your shoes.

To claim a spurious 'invoice' from a random unregulated firm of ex-clampers carries (effectively) some statutory authority ('Excess Charge' is a Council term) and a 'fine of £500 if not paid' and to threaten 'prosecution' is illegal. Pure and simple.
