The person who made the payment should know that the registration is entered so a payment can be attributed to the correct Penalty Charge Notice.
The person who received the PCN should contact us and let us find out if a mistake has been made by the client staff.
Those who are telling you to ignore the Penalty Charge Notice are not aware of the concequences of such action.
Please do not ignore this Penalty Charge Notice as it is a legal document and further fees will be added if the debt is not cleared and criminal proceedings may be taken.

One would assume you are making a living out of this and therefore adding fees.
So anyone who receives one of your notices is entitled to ignore them. If it's a genuine mistake that they forgot to pay, they should return to the garage in question and pay for the fuel.
Then where does that leave you?
Out of pocket having paid a fee to the dvla for keeper details.0 -
Who is issuing this 'Penalty Charge Notice', Alan?
Is it you?
Under what authority?
Oh, and we can assume you're posting here with the knowledge and permission of MSE, can't we? As a legal expert, I'm sure you will have read the T&Cs when you signed up.0 -

Exactly what are the "concequences" ? - You missed that one when editing your other spelling mistakes.
Your website is a sham - not even a secure site. No disclosure of fees, no validation of data, payments taken via Paypal only (always a red flag), registered to a residential address etc etc
Anyone that falls for your trick and actually pays you money needs their head examining.
I love the "we'll inform the police that no further action is required" line. If the police were involved it would be a criminal matter - they don't drop charges just because somebody has been duped into paying money into your Paypal account. :rotfl:All matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves.0 -

Funny how Alan is happy to dish it out but scared to come back and respond to the questions he's been asked.0

Under what legislation are you entitled to issue a PCN to the registered keeper?
Who exactly is going to start criminal proceedings, do you have experience of private prosecutions?
What a load of old

Quoted for posterity cos its going to get binned soon!
OK, so now we now have absolute proof that its a scam - and the level of ignorance and the degree of contempt for any rules/regs by the people who operate it!0 -
Surely had the OP driven off without paying and without going into the kiosk to give his/her details, he would have had a visit from the boys and girls in blue?0

Not any more. The Home Office has subcontracted all that work to a bloke called Alan who lives in an old people's home.0 -

More likely a letter rather than a visit.0
