5 year old parking tickets

Hi all , i have received via my old neighbour 7 parking fines from Ebbsfleet railway station 
they are addressed to just my 1st name Lee
they are dated July and August 2019, 
now i was parking in a part of the car park not monitored by cameras 
then some  cameras went up with no signs and I stopped using this area
after this some signs went up saying cameras now in use.
I did not receive any sort of ticket , fine up until last week when i opened them they were 3 weeks past the response date , but also 5 years ago
i'm very confused as how to respond

    Why is your neighbour getting these?  Did you not update your address with DVLA when you moved?

    But if you are saying that these related to parking 5 years back and these are the first notices being sent by the parking company then they are way beyond the time limit for issuing them.  (14 days? I think).

    And if they are just addressed to "Lee" and not "Lee Redfred" then is it possible that these are a scam?  Surely the DVLA don't have you on their records with just your first name?

    Its 6 months plus one month for bylaws PCNs, from the incident date  ( making 7 months to get the PCN to the registered keeper. )

    Why do you think you must respond?
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    I have moved and changed my details with the DVLA 1 year ago

    Ignore and file away anything over 7 months old, especially if they are 5 years old. ) just keep them until after 6 years following the incident dates has passed 

    If there are any recent letters like a Letter of Claim or a court claim pack from the CNBC in Northampton using MCOL, or something similar, come back to this thread for further guidance ( only those latter two require a response. )

    No you can't because you must contact them to erase the old address and only send letters to the new address (state it in full of course). Might be a good idea only to sign off the email as 'Lee' and not use an email address that shows a surname.
