    Does the debt collector letter not name their 'client' somewhere ?
    Unfortunately there hasn't been any letters. The text over the weekend was the first I'd heard of it. I will send a SAR to the DVLA as somebody mentioned earlier to find out where it's come from

    As your 1st post stated your V5C details are correct and only text was received from DRP I'd do as @Castle advised above this will also give you date details were requested then you can contact the company.

    I suppose the text could be a scam but yes, do as advised by Castle.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    Like you so many people don't receive 1st and/or 2nd pcn but the £170 payment due letter often manages to drop through letter boxes.

    PPCs always claim discounted rate/full rate pcns/court claim letters were sent though they offer no evidence to prove this.
    Since they CHOOSE NOT to provide evidence of their posting we must continue to press gov to ensure they do and see it included in the new Parking CoP.

    Please @JC3 sign/share @jmccabe petition closes 22nd june 2024.
