But it will deal with the prospect of the OP (or his brother) receiving any more tickets over the coming weeks if they remove him as registered keeper.

The police can do that given he's reported it.

Not sure how contacting the DVLA will help much. It won't deal with the issue of a live NIP/section 172 issue.

You need to fill the form out and attach a covering letter explaining your side of the story. Failure to at tell the safety partnership something that may assist them will see 6 points.

Once you've got into some sort of dialogue around possible cloned plates then you can get onto the DVLA, however at this point a simple misread by ANPR can't be ruled out.

It will give the OP and his brother a defence if it was to proceed to legal proceedings.

The OP has already stated that he's contacted the police, and that the car has been insured by someone else. So, that doesn't sound like a cloned plate or ANPR error.

But in all this hoo-ha with the DVLA do not miss the main point. That is that your brother must respond to the "Request for Driver's details" within the 28 days allowed. If he does not he will be on the list for a court appearance for an offence which carries a hefty fine and six penalty points. He still might be anyway unless he can convince the camera partnership of what has happened. They have a habit of letting such matters be settled in the Magistrates' court.

Given the circumstances it's unlikely.

The brother has no need to respond. He hasn’t received an s172 request, the OP has.

Involving the brother simply complicates matters. The OP should simply say “No one of that name at this address. Not my car.”

But the brother is already involved as it is their name that is on the S172 so surely as the named individual, it is the brother that must respond.

The point wasn't missed at all. Covered in post #6.

It's arguable:

I received in the post yesterday a vc5 for a car I don't own, it has my brothers name and my address,

But in any event, one of them needs to reply. Ignoring the matter (or simply responding with "Not known at this address") is likely to lead to aggravation. Imagine: you receive a S172 request. You simply reply by saying "not known at this address".Will that see the end of the matter? Possibly not
