Thanks for the help. I've just done some research and I've been slapped with 6 points on my license and £600  fine + fees for not providing info on a driver in December 2019.  I moved out in September 2019 and changed my details for everything, insurance, driving license, tax etc but not my V5C foolishly.

I'll have to call the court tomorrow I suppose

Then as not changing your V5C details is an offence and you can be fined up to £1000 , get it done online asap

It's also why this has happened as well , because it's not just private parking companies that use that data , it's councils and police etc too. I doubt that NPM have anything to do with it , although there may be cases in their name too , letters , LBC,s , court claims etc

This is a direct consequence of failure to update the V5C , plus the fact that you would expect the DVLA to change all details from a data subject , but they don't do that , so that needs complaining about as well. At the moment you have to tell them twice , once for the driving licence , plus once for each V5C as well

An expensive lesson learned

Your cases was nothing to do with npm
You can update v5 and driving licence online so no excuse these days

Thanks all. My initial thought was that it was something to do with NPM but looks like I was wrong. It's one of those things- I changed my driving license + insurance etc but the v5c just slipped my mind completely. 

Hopefully they'll be understanding.....

I partly blame the DVLA for causing all this distress, and for not complying with the DPA Principles and updating all records about a data subject who they KNOW has moved. 

Honestly, I think someone should report the DVLA to the ICO for this and see what they think. 

The DVLA's excuse is that V5Cs are handled by a different Dept than Driving Licences.  I think they breach the DPA Principles.

It would be a fairly simple further line added to the driving licence change of address notification - 'Please provide the VRM(s) of any vehicle(s) of which you are the Registered Keeper and which should now be registered to your new address'.

You can perform a stat dec to state you knew nothing of the offence, get it reset and have a chance to enter a plea. Please not guilty to FtF (otherwise no bloody point doing the SD) and ON THE DAY, IF YOU WERE THE DRIVER, you can ask to "do a deal" - admit to the underlying offence, for which they want to convict you for but cannot, if they agree to drop the FtF
This assumes simple speeding - nothing excessive, no dangerous driving etc.

Than you. Sorry for my stupidity, what does FtF stand for? Failure to something?

FtF = Failure to Furnish.

If the RK fails to give out the driver's details, they have to take the rap themselves.

Google Failure to Furnish for more comprehensive answers.
