PE may very well take court action, but it won't be against the OP - it will be the RK, the same person they've been addressing their invoices to.
Indeed but it's a lot easier to nip things in the bud than explain to baliffs on your doorstep that the scrote giving a fake address (if this is what's happened, it isn't entirely clear yet) doesn't actually live there.0 -

How long have you been in the house? Any chance its the name of a previous tenant/owner?
Since 2009-cant remember previous owner as I moved from a nearby town
Thanks for the private fine info -it's those bold type- final warning type letters -todays £100 required immediately.Replenished CRA Reports.2020 Nissan Leaf 128-149 miles top charge. Savings depleted. VM Stream tv M250 Volted to M350 then M500 since returned to 1gb0 -
If it's not your car and not your plates then you personally are not liable but you do need to take action. Ask a board moderator to move this into the parking ticket sub forum and get some advice on killing these off, private firms could still send debt collectors around to your address given that's the address on the RK. Be prepared to prove you moved in during 2009 and so on.
Sam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness:
People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.

Arguably I'd say easier to prove to bailiffs. The person not being tenant/owner at the address will stop bailiff action, it wont necessarily stop court action.
From what I've read on here, parking companies seem to like default judgements - the chances of which increase when issued to a last known address rather than current address.You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means - Inigo Montoya, The Princess Bride0 -
If a letter doesn't have my name I just return to sender, and had plenty of practice due to the previous occupant of the house! Only once did I open an envelope as there was no return address on the envelope. I was able to phone the court and give them the news that "Fred" did not live at this address and I doubted he would be attending court to defend the charge of evading a rail fare..0
