    Hmmm...what's the worst that can happen?

    A CCJ at the address, in a name of someone who you say doesn't exist. That CCJ will not affect you, and the PPC can't ask the DVLA now for the keeper's details.

    So I would do nothing.

    What you don't want to do is reply telling them the real name of the keeper...
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    I suspect the same thing; my only concern is if they do finally decide to double check with the DVLA then my name will crop up and they'll realize they've messed up. In that case I think they'll try and charge me for the full amount and it'll go to court as I'll refuse to pay for their legal costs incited from their own mistake.

    They can only ask once per event for keeper details from the DVLA.
    And then only within six months of the alleged incident.

    We've clearly told you they can't ask the DVLA twice. A good thing, in your case!

    I didn't twig this; thank you for confirming :)
  • Very strange. Just keep an eye out for any sneaky Letter Before Claims in your actual name - you would need to respond to that.
