    1) I don’t know the parking company 

    2) this is the first I’ve heard 

    I did move hiuse around about this time so does this mean I have to accept defeat and pay up 
    1) Wrong, their client is listed on the top right of the letter but you redacted it in blue pen , make sure it's been done, otherwise the DVLA could issue a summons to mags court where the maximum fine is £1000 for not updating it 

    2) probably because you moved and didn't update the V5c promptly , as required by the DVLA 

    3) no it doesn't

    3) No

    But do email a Data Rectification Notice to the DPO at G24 and give them your current address or a suitable address for the service of papers, preferably attaching a copy of the updated V5C and copies of 2 recent redacted utility bill's, telling them that they MUST erase old address and they MUST only use your current address 

    Do not mention or discuss the outstanding pcn

    I have never had one either, it doesn't change the advice one iota

    It does not actually change, it stays at £100 , the rest is fiction by debt collectors 

    The way around it is to get the landowner to cancel the PCN ASAP 

    Otherwise its stay on the horse and ride it out , but to definitely get them to update your current address ASAP, plus to get your V5c out and check that its up to date too

    I have no idea what you mean.

    You won't be paying and you don't have a fine. You do need to update your logbook address with the DVLA. 

    You also need to tell G24 and DCB Ltd to erase your old address.  By email, obviously you don't phone these companies. 


    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
