    They only have to show it was sent to the name and address obtained from the DVLA database , not that anyone received it , using the term on the balance of probability , given its what they do as a job , post out a PCN after anpr capture of a VRM and send it to the DVLA database address

    Just assume that any arguments you can think of have been done to death and your non legal mind won't find anything untried or untested or new

    Private parking companies do not issue fines , they issue Parking Charge Notices

    I have already told you that as keeper you had or have no liability in law , only the driver did , or does , until 6 years have elapsed when the limitations act applies

    Highview have 6 years to issue a court claim pack from the CCBC in Northampton , so 4 years is typical and well within the timescales allowed in law
    Thanks so much. That’s interesting. Would this still stand even though they never gave me the initial ticket/ letter all those years ago? 

    I realise they have 6 years to take me to court legally but do they not have legal guidelines to follow like issuing the initial ticket and/ or giving me the opportunity to appeal in the first place? 

    I feel like had they issued the £50 fines or however much they were in the first place then they would have been paid. But I was never given that chance! 
    That would have been totally stupid!  Jeez, the keeper isn't even liable because Highview don't use that law.

    Your V5C logbook has the wrong address - an old address - on it, doesn't it?  That's why you got no PCN letters. 
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
