Private "Fine" escalated to BW Legal

Gr1pr

That was my verdict on the story so far,  but the OP was adamant that it wasnt the case   ( but personally I agree with coupon mad,  that a pcn was issued on moving in day,  its the only explanation that makes sense regarding the VRM details and the date when the OP moved in  , regardless of the pcn reference,  especially because it was a hired motorcycle so their initial pcn, who then should have named the hirer  )

I'm thinking like Gr1pr and C-mad.

Tell us the date your car's Keeper Registration document (V5C) was updated. KeithP explains how to find the date in this post

Was your parking permit displayed in your car on 16th Jan 2023 the day you moved in?

They haven't messed up.

This one is about your car. And there could be even more.

You definitely got a PCN (sent to your old address in 2023) re the car on the day you were unloading & moving in. You may even have more from that first week or two because your car will have been registered - at that time - to your old address. The DVLA cannot have changed it on day one.

I can't explain the same PCN ref for both. Are you sure? Still got the bike PCN?

No, can't be. We got the Parking Permit for the Car on the 15th, the day before we moved in. And we didn't use our for moving but had a rental Van. And Van unloading is allowed on the estate. And as we never had any contact with CPM before 2024, the same references on two different number plates MUST be a mess up in their system cause the bike in question was an "insurance hire" as the old bike was irreparably damaged. It's the amount of money, the same reference and the same Parking Company. Not to mention that we did use Royal Mail Redirect for the first 12 months as well. So any "Parking Charge" sent to the old address would've been forwarded. So it must be a mess up. In our favour that is, though. And yes we still have ALL the letters from the first PCN about the bike, the landowner communications, etc. everything is documented. So it is a mess up.

I am still unsure.

They can't have attached your car numberplate to you without going to the DVLA.

Easy to find out: send an email to the DVLA data team (see post 5 of the NEWBIES thread) and ask for a list of persons/companies which have received your keeper data for that car and when, since 1.1.2023 to date.

That info costs nothing.

That's a good idea. Will do thanks. I'll keep you all posted as we are at a loss as well.
