How do you know its fraud. Could just be a mess up at DVLA.

I would just return them anyway. They are not your speeding tickets.

Two speeding tickets within a few days after the car was registered. And when I was in "helpful must get this to the right person" mode, I tried to contact the vendor. Someone of the vendor's name had live at the stated address ... two years ago. And same name has been moving around several counties every 18 months of so for some years. (192, non-subscriber information.) When I saw that I backed off smartly.

Everyone I've mentioned this to says it's a classic sign of fraudulent registration, and we're lucky they haven't got our number plate on it as well.

For those of us who actually obey the law, there's nothing remotely shoddy about either council parking departments or bailiffs.

Where do you think they get the address from? It's from the DVLA. If the tickets are being issued against the registration number, which they almost certainly are, then they will stop, probably immediately as I doubt whether police forces keep their own records - the exception would be if they send reminders and reuse the same address.

And that is exactly what has happened! They aren't going back to the DVLA and asking them, now, they are just churning out on what they already have.

The police (or anyone else) WOULD NOT go back to the DVLA for address details in relation to the same offence. They are only entitled to get the details once (so I believe) for any given offence. The exception would be if they are informed that the details they hold are incorrect. But if they got the details from DVLA in the first place, then requesting again for the keeper details at the date of the offence is likely to return the same information.

What's your source for that information?

As far as I know there's no limit on access to the Police National Computer as long as there is a genuine reason for doing so and this will include checks for a new keeper change.

Well, your first post could be interpreted as meaning that you have received notifications for multiple offences rather than multiple notices for a single offence. As it appears to be the latter based on later posts then yes, it's the force that is sending the notifications that needs to correct their records - complain to them, and to the ICO if necessary.

Thanks that is potentially a help.

Actually it is multiple offences (2) which are now just moving into the multiple notice phase - one so far. Waiting to see if the "next" one comes in.

what most people have missed here is that the car in question could be a ringer basically someone has cloned your car ive seen it done basically they see a car same colour model etc as yours which matches theirs go and buy a set of dodgy plates the same number as yours then stick them on their car which is same as yours etc and they are away. especially if they spotted your car on your drive etc. Plus of course the car that had a diferent reg as to yours but now shares it is off the radar so to speak

As far as I can see the OP hasn't said that the car has the same reg number as his. It seems someone, not the OP, has registered a car, not the OP's, at his address. He's not using the OP's name & he's not using the OP's reg number.
