Maiden Name and Parents Address on PCN from NPE

vhync

Received a parking charge notice from Norfolk Parking Enforcement, delivered to my parents address, with my maiden name on it. My current driving license, from December 2013, has my married name and new address. How did they get the old details, when they state on their letter that they have followed procedures to obtain them from DVLA?
Should I do the usual appeal process, ignore because of the wrong details, or something else?

Nothing to do with your driving licence, have you changed the name and address on your V5 (log book)?

You need to get on with changing your V5 details sharpish - you're in 'fine' territory. NPE will only be using details supplied by the DVLA, based on what the DVLA records state, based on what you've told (or not told) them.

Perversely, NPE might well have done you a bit of a favour. :rotfl:

Ta, never gave that a thought, haven't changed it. I'd guess it's a legal requirement. We don't have many trees, or lumberjacks around here!

I'd guess it's a legal requirement.

You better believe it!

But, just in the context of your PCN from NPE, notifying the DVLA of your new details, these will not be transmitted by the DVLA to NPE; NPE will continue to use your original details, so make sure you have arrangements set up for everything related to this parking charge to be passed to you on receipt.

Thanks, that is good info that again I wouldn't have thought of

It is only a legal requirement to be a contactable address, seeing you got it then I would say that is contactable.

However it is best it is registered to your address.

I assume as far as the Fake PCN is concerned you know how to appeal, having read the Newbies thread? Was there ever a windscreen PCN in this case, does the postal PCN talk about serving a PCN to the driver a month before (dates please).

Do also let us know on this thread (one thread for all of it please) when you have moved on to drafting the POPLA appeal in a month or so.

Sorry for the delay. I've been away for the weekend. There was not a windscreen PCN, and nothing on the postal PCN about serving a PCN to the driver a month before.

Have just read the Newbies thread. I had previously read the the MoneySavingsExpert article, and have made a draft response based on that:

You issued me with a parking ticket on 29th October 2014 but I believe it was unfairly issued. I decline your invitation to name the driver, which is not required of me as the keeper of the vehicle. I will not be paying your demand for payment for the following reason:

The charge is disproportionate and not a genuine pre-estimate of loss.
The amount you have charged is not based upon any genuine pre-estimate of loss to your company or the landowner.

According to the Unfair Consumer Contract Regulations, parking charges on private land must not exceed the cost to the landowner during the period the motorist is parked there. In my case, the £60 charge you are asking for far exceeds the cost to the landowner whose business was not even open at the time, and I was only parked for 20 minutes.

Ooops have you actually sent that? I sincerely hope not. Re-read the final seven words...

Now wonder why we suggest people use the version in the Newbies thread instead, which in fact doesn't name the driver like that terrible template does.

If you've already sent it then you've given away who was driving which looks a bit daft, given the first paragraph! And it chucks away a slam dunk winning POPLA appeal point doesn't it? 'No keeper liability as the NTK is not compliant' has been chucked away in one sentence because you are no longer 'the keeper'.

OK so this PCN - what date is on it and what date of parking event. Surely it either mentions a PCN or it says the driver 'drove away' before one could be issued?

vhync

Oops didn't see that. Thanks. Haven't sent it yet.

Contravention date: 26 10 2014
Date of this notice: 29th Otcober 2014

It doesn't say about driving away before a PCN could be issued. This notice has been issued for the contravention of "unauthorised parking", by post.
