Mystery Parking Tickets :)

Hey there Peeps! My first post here and wanted a bit of advice from you people.
So I’ve been receiving random parking tickets at my address for the most part of last year. Firstly they are not in any registered name in the household and it’s a name that I’ve never heard of... the vehicle is also a random one which I don’t recognise.
I have always wrote return to sender, wrong address but nothing has been done and I continue to receive them.
I’m assuming the PPC will eventually send court letters to my address as this chap has been receiving 100’s of parking tickets and I can only try to understand the how and why I am receiving them.
EITHER WAY: What do you think is my position... of course the name isn’t even registered in this address so do you think bailiffs or something will come knocking one day :beer: . What do you think I should or can do? I really don’t want bailiffs to try and take goods or even speak to anyone in my family for something that we know nothing about...

No bailiffs will visit unexpectedly!
Are these letters addressed to a previous resident of the property?
The ppcs get the keepers address from the DVLA, and if the keeper doesn't update DVLA when they move this will happen0 -
Do you know what parking company/council these tickets are from?From the Plain Language Commission:
"The BPA has surely become one of the most socially dangerous organisations in the UK"0 -
I wouldnt worry to be honest..nothing you can do . If you ever did get a bailiff easily dealt with. They cant just break in and take stuff0

Thanks for your reply’s guys. So the tickets have been coming from a NCP car park and an unknown vehicle. We have been living at this address longer than the age of the cars details they are sending me tickets for. The car is registered in 2005 as shown in their tickets.
Yeah hopefully I can show them all the people living at this address and prove that it’s nothing to do with me. Guess I’ll have to wait and see what happens I guess! They haven’t sent any court letters to date but was worried slightly if they did escalate etc and it’s very odd on why I’m receiving them in the first place.
The only thing I can think of is if someone registered the car at my address (fraudulent) and I or someone in my family missed the document From dvla. I contacted dvla a while back when I first started receiving these but they aren’t much help0
