    Hi there - I got an invoice from G24 on 17/08/2017 for the very same B&M car park (£90). I'm the registered keeper. I received a 2nd letter from G24 in October and just the other week got one from Debt Recovery Plus Ltd (DRP) from one Jennifer Jordon (£150 now) with the much quoted line: 'In certain circumstances, liability can be transferred to the registered keeper.'


    So I think it's fair to say that G24 and whomever they get to act on their behalf are not being held to account by DVLA for sending letters out that aren't accurate.


    So just to be a complete pedant, I want to check my understanding of what's been said so far... with the law being different in Scotland, the most G24 can legally do, is invite the registered keeper to share with them who the driver was and the registered keeper is not legally obliged, under Scottish Law, to provide any details of who was driving the car and that the registered keeper should not reply in any way to the letters they receive from G24 or their sub-contracted companies.

    I'm up for getting on to DVLA if the experts on this forum think I should. Not looking to hijack this thread, so if you want me to start a new thread, please say :) It seems to me that we could be pooling our resources on this issue for the specific car park in Scotland and save the knowledgeable people who provide advice from having to repeat themselves so much??

    The letters received so far: hxxps://xxx.dropbox.com/s/e7sw007ad4qvnnh/G24_DRP_ltrs_Redacted.pdf?dl=0 Please can someone tweak the link for me?

    Report them to The DVLA. They are, yet again, trying to mislead people.

    I think a new thread is best, as people will take one look and think this is old.

    Tweaked - as requested.
    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

    MORE DRP DRIVEL
  • I am emailing back to give DD my permission, I was just worried it was giving them fuel to hound me more. The DRP letter really worried me- but it seems it has no marking in my credit history. Its states they represent G24, not that the debt is now theirs.
    I had thought that with access to the database, just I shot myself in the foot giving away it was myself driving. I think I was just getting myself in knots over what the issues were over them accessing my details (someone mentioned a breach of the data protections act). However the first letter they sent me did state that if they did not know the drivers details in x amount of days, they could transfer the charge to the keeper.
    oh, to clarify I am unable to work atm due to my mental health in general. this has not caused this issue. although it has not helped my anxiety and stress levels at all.


    Did you redact the e-mails/letters you sent to DD ?
