Parking ticket after car was sold.

Already did that and like I mentioned before they required proof of sale as well. And if you read the last paragraph- the records are not completed so whatever happened with my car they will contact me.0

And DVLA for some reason still gives my details to anyone who asks.
Are you sure about that/You never know how far you can go until you go too far.0 -
You're not getting it. WHO says you need proof of sale? They do, and they are wrong. If they say you must also produce a camel and a signed photo of Elvis, will you? You have nothing to prove, they're conning you. It's bordering on fraud. The money they have obtained from you so far is not lawful and should be recovered.
This is easy to beat.{Signature removed by Forum Team - if you are not sure why we have removed your signature, it's probably Gladstones}4 -
You're not getting it.
Please please please, read the newbies until you do. You cannot beat this if you do not understand it.You never know how far you can go until you go too far.0 -
D_P_Dance because I get another letter from Trace for another 160£ for the new parking charge(which happened after I updated the selling date in DVLA) so DVLA gave my details to TRACE even after I update them.0

Then make a formal complaint to the DVLA, copied to your MP..You never know how far you can go until you go too far.0

They already have your details for this car, why would they contact DVLA again for a car they already have the details for? It's possible they didn't.
Put it this way, for each £160 "fine" they send you, if you fight them in court you win. Even if you lose (I cannot see how that can happen), the most you will have to pay will be about...... £160.
Listen to the advice on here and you will beat them on all fronts, and I'd bet that you would get your original £160 back as well. Read the Newbies thread.

I do not see how you could possibly lose a court case. How can you breach a non-existent contract?You never know how far you can go until you go too far.0

Ok, so what you advise me to do? I read all the newbie posts and still think that "my case is different".
Step 1.
-Complain to DVLA (easy to do on their website) and informed my MP (So my MP is Sir John Hayes, should I just write an email to him and inform him about the situation)?0 -
Of course you should complain to your MP, copying to DVLA. My preference would be to write to him on your best writing paper.You never know how far you can go until you go too far.0
