I don't think that the DVLA will able to confirm that the OP wasn't the driver.

It’s unlikely to be forged .  The appeal was  probably  done by  the true keeper of the vehicle - with the same name as you . 

Unless they've deliberately used my name in the appeal letter to try and pass off the problem, as they have also used my name to register the vehicle?

Not sure if this has already been discussed - but is it feasible that someone has the same name as you and it’s all just a case of DVLA messing up and identifying the wrong John Smith ?

The easiest way is to prove you never lived at the address of the driver/rk by way of your credit files.

They can confirm whether OP was the keeper or not .  But won’t give the correct details to you . But yes you are correct my mistake they cannot confirm who was the driver for obvious reasons.

I agree with Bazarius.  That is not a forged letter from someone pretending to be you.

They have not put your address on the letter.  They are not pretending to be you.

That is an appeal/dispute from the real rk (who has used words from this forum!).

He happens to share the same name as you.

DCB have then done a soft trace and found you (same name).  You must ask DCB for the soft trace whereby they first found your address and tell them THIS IS A MISTRACE.  The keeper that the parking firm was pursuing isn't me.  We must share the same or similar name but that person is not me.  DCB Group has made a mistake and I demand to see the 'soft trace' that DCB Group obtained that first threw up my data.

As proof this is not me, I can prove I have never lived at the address the parking firm first obtained from the DVLA, by way of my credit files (attached screenshot).

DEMAND they discontinue immediately or you will claim all your costs and are minded to sue DCB Group for their error & to report DCB Legal to the SRA and DCB Ltd to the CSA.

Your credit file will show where you have lived for x number of years

Hello, I checked my credit report just now, and even though I have been at my present address since 2017 and have all my online purchase records on email (paypal/amazon/ebay/etc) saying this address. It seems my credit report hasn't updated my address record until 2019, I think I remember changing my bank details as soon as i moved here, and im confident I registered with the housing association too so they should have my record of address. Don't know why the credit report says 2019 though unless it is relying on credit checks as reference dates or something.

Just been on the phone to the housing association to ask for a letter of date of moving in, they're calling me back at some point.

It will be on your tenancy agreement

In linked addresses it may still say when the address was changed and the source
