    Agree with writing to the DVLA, but be aware that they will write back to the Registered Keeper at the address they hold for him.

    I hope DVLA already have the RK's corrected address.
  • the DVLA will not help , they have known of MILs antics since 2015 , but MIL do not use the DVLA database , and have not broke any laws , its the parking Co that are guilty , but the DVLA will not act

    [FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Parking Eye, Smart and a smaller company have already been named and shamed, as has Gladstones Solicitors, and BW Lega;, (who take hundreds of these cases to court, and nearly always lose), who have also been reported to the regulatory authority. [/FONT]

    [FONT=Times New Roman, serif]The problem has become so rampant that MPs have agreed to enact a Bill to regulate these scammers. Watch the video of the Second Reading in the HofC recently.[/FONT]

    By using the wealth of info available here
    First you decide if you counterclaim against mil
    Either way you get your defence sorted.
