I can't see from the photos whether there's actually any details of where someone might have been "illegally" parked.  Is there any?  Is it possible that they might have been "illegally" parked??

The reason I ask is - is it possible that it's someone just going around a neighbourhood on garbage collection day, checking if there's any labelled post in the bin, taking that and noting the reg number of a car on the drive and putting the threat together?

fyi - i'm not disagreeing with any of the advice given here so far.  it's just the grammar and threats seem to completely scammy to me.

This is definitely a scam.

There are potentially various criminal offences here and the BPA are on the case because CSC are using the BPA logo (another offence). 

As the 2 cases I've passed to the BPA are in different parts of the country and this new poster tells us that the addressee is not the registered keeper, it is narrowing the data source down to online insurance quotes or comparison sites, or possibly job sites (but unlikely a personal car VRM would have been keyed into a driving job application)?

What is that, and how did you find that out?

It's a company that deals with insolvency etc
Found out because I have the gift of the gab

Can we see the threats on the back, please?

Also the (redacted) front & back of the NTK that arrived first, I want to see what it says about appeals, POPLA and payments?

So who evers name it is in needs to do a dvla sar check
But you should send a dm to @Coupon-mad with the reg details as she is in contact with the BPA 

I am indeed and they are looking at two cases. I can send them more.

This is the only correspondence received, not received anything from either company previously.

Yes I get it's a scam but if I got one of these I'd look and see where they think I was parked.   Local Tesco? (ok, but never more than 30 minutes so that's fine) or council car park (nope - never use them) so I would know immediately that it's a scam.  But would others? 

The only way a scam works is to convince someone that there are grounds that make it seem believable.  Not everyone would spot the bad grammar and be as on the ball as a lot of the posters here.

Have you reported this scam to Action Fraud and Trading Standards?

But wait, can I clarify:

- the spouse is the actual registered keeper?

- but the letter and original joke of a NTK was sent to you (not the keeper)?

- you have been getting insurance quotes and applying for driving jobs in your name recently? Or the keeper has?

Has the person being written to recently used a new paybyphone app in a car park?

Yes reported to Action Fraud

registered keeper spouse and vehicle registered at another address( i know looks dodgy  ) but just moved house.

Letter arrived in other spouse's name to new address.

Recently applying for jobs and getting insurance quotes (including Uber Eats driver insurance)

Not used Paybyphone App

I agree.  That's why I alerted the BPA straight away and am in touch as we speak about this latest info.

I see the fake DRA is claiming to be authorised by ths FCA and ICO.  That'll go down like a lead balloon.

Uber Eats Driver Insurance - really?  Hmmm...

Great Detective work all.

Ok I have passed all this on to Steve C and Sara R at the BPA and pointed out that the DRS letter claims authorisation of the FCA and ICO so I've asked BPA to liaise.

I suggest all victims immediately report DRS to the FCA and include not only the letters & texts you have, but also a link to this MSE thread showing the DRS letter claiming FCA registration and the bank account (see Grizebeck's post) that needs freezing.

Seems to be a scam based on data harvested online, possibly from an insurance comparison site hack. Maybe Uber Eats Driver Insurance...FCA need to investigate.

FCA have massive clout and will be pee'd off not only about DRS naming them on the letter but also the possibility of insurance data hacking.

FCA is the way to go now, IMHO. They will move far quicker than the ICO.  Also please update Action Fraud with what we've uncovered.
