End of Default CCJs?

Legacy_user

Interesting comment from the DVLA yesterday in parliament.

The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) is currently improving the way it holds data and the services it provides to customers. As part of this process the DVLA will provide a new service to notify changes of address covering both driver and vehicle databases. As most customers want to notify changes online, the DVLA will focus on delivering a digital service, with other support and assistance available for those who need it.

Argument [sometime in the future when it actually is implemented] would be if they are not using this new service - why not?

Edited for clarity.

I think the clue is in the use of the word 'will'...that implies its in the future, iow... it can't be used until it exists.

Will, not HAS
I'd suggest this makes sense, but frankly - thecompanies have a way to already find out someones current address, so it wont stop all.

I've always been amazed at the number of people that come to this site regarding a default judgement because they have moved.

Ok you could have a small!! cross over with the DVLA, between you notifying od the change of address on the V5 & Scumbags R Us actually getting the details.

The question is though wants happens to the all the post. If you put a redirect on it, that should take care of that problem.

Was the post Returned to Sender, if so that should have put the PPC on notice.

In the case of RTS for Northampton, the case goes on hold. I did an Freedom of Information request last year about the number of RTS 30,000.

Worst case, new occupants are throwing the post in the bin.

Interesting defence to run if you could get new occupants to state that they returned the post to Royal Mail with moved - I'm sure the PPC's are very quick at updating their information........

I believe there should be different types of CCJ - it's absurd that a trivial parking disagreement/scam (call it what you will) can lead to destruction of someone's credit profile for years. A CCJ as a result of a regulated credit agreement going south (such as non-payment of a loan), then fair enough but the sort of nonsense we see from car park cowboys is truly shocking.

That's fine if the details are requested fairly quickly, but if you sit on it for 4+ years before sending out the correspondence, and the keeper of the vehicle has changed vehicle and address, I don't believe there's any system to update the address for a vehicle you're no longer the keeper of.


One may cynically suggest that's why the PPC's wait for so long before trying to file court paperwork - much higher likelihood of a default win (and the victim paying the uncontested fee to get rid of the CCJ).

If that was the case, it would be very fair to argue that the PPC was in breach of the Data Protection Act both the 1998 version & the 2018


Information shall be accurate & up to date

Doesn't the DVLA keep historical keeper data? And the PPC requests info on the keeper of vehicle X on Y date?

If you move house on Z date (and have notified DVLA), but are the same keeper as on Y date, what info does the DVLA cough up to the PPC? Y-date address or Z-date address?

Keeper AT TIME (date) of INCIDENT

not a month before or 6 yrs later , on the DATE of the incident

the parking Cos can only ask the DVLA once , once only for info per incident
