    What stick would that be? "I told them I paid for a ticket and they assumed I was the driver but I wasn't"? What if they were the driver? What does that stick do that all the others don't?

    "The driver paid for a ticket, see attached" will do you a lot better than "I paid for a ticket, see attached".

    I am not arguing with you H. merely pointing out yet another logical fallacy in a poster's argument. Has no-one here ever studied logic?

    Not for the first time, The Deep has to behave like "Mr Logic" out of the Viz comic, derailing the thread in the process. I'm sure he means well, but....

    Perhaps it would be better if such challenges to are made off the forum.

    For the record, I agree with Fruitcake - give the PPC as little room as possible to say words to the effect of "aha! you were the driver, therefore..." etc and potentially make it harder to win at POPLA using non-compliance with POFA.

    I simply do not see any "logical fallacy" in Fruitcake's post, just good sense and trying to make the process as fail-safe as possible.

    There is a reason for the advice in this forum to never use "me", "myself" or "I", and always refer to "The Driver", why potentially make life harder?

    As i have not received any NTK letters i did not make an appeal as I thought that the matter was closed however today I have received a letter from Debt Recovery Plus insisting I pay a charge of £149 immediately.

    How should I proceed with this?

    Thank you in advance for your help

    The NEWBIES thread tells you to ignore debt collectors. Why didn't you appeal as advised?

    I didn't appeal as the advice on here was to wait for the NTK which I haven't received

    Why not check with the DVLA to see when they were suplied with the Keeper details. This is the letter to send

    [Your Address]

    DVLA Vehicle Record Enquiries section
    Longview Road
    Morriston
    Swansea

    Dear Sirs

    Re: VRM AB12 XYZ

    As the Registered Keeper of the above VRM could you advise who has accessed my personal details with regards to this marque, when and when did the DVLA supply them. Please advise the information with regards to events between xx/xx/xx/ and xx/xx/xx.

    I understand there is no charge for this information and look forward to your speedy reply.

    Yours faithfully



    Mr Registered Keeper


    If they haven't applied, then they cannot hold the keeper liable.
