Ignore my advice, why?

OP do not ignore my advice.  OP and Nos, read the sequence again, I was advising OP to contact his landlord and MP without delay.

I've now received my trial date for this matter and have a question for whoever may be able to advise. 
The PCN was a notice to keeper.  The driver of the vehicle has never been established and I believe I do not have to divulge that information anyway. 
What I'd like to know is the appropriate legal term/phrase to explain that. 

Thanks in advance.

I doubt that there is one, plain language seems appropriate.

I was hoping for some legal document, act or whatever I could refer to and quote perhaps.

The PoFA 2012 plus Henry Greenslade's report from a couple years ago both can be obtained by asking Auntie Google.

I am assuming that they have added on £60.00 charge for debt collection. DRP and Zenith are the same company. I don't quite know why they switch from one collection agent to another unless it is to intimidate. 

DRP and Zenith operate on a no collection, no fee basis so there should be no add on charge of £60.00 because it has cost VCS nothing. It's abuse of process.

I have a copy of the web page (now taken down) which states that they work on a no collection no fee basis if you would like a copy. It will be useful for your WS to include this with the letters. 

Just as a matter of interest did the letters from Zenith used the word "assigned"?

Pofa 2012 is the route I intend to go down. They haven't complied so surely there is not charge liable?
The county court claim is for me as keeper and or driver, yet not established like I say.
My thought is if I'm asked by the judge who was driving then what do I say. 
I'll look into Henry's report, I love auntie Google, she's my favourite.

I'll have to look at the paperwork after work to confirm,  but yes, there is a £60 fee added, scoundrels.

Keep those letters and include them with your WS. I will PM the copy of DRP's web page which states categorically the work on a no collection no fee basis.
