Thanks all, for the advices.

I think I have to pay the £325 to avoid additional bailiff fees. I am thinking if I can submit an Out of Time Statutory Declaration to the Traffic Enforcement Centre (TEC), explaining that you didn't receive the original PCN. I don't know if they will reject since I didn't update my v5c.

Yes you can. Do that for BOTH but get advice on FTLA forum first. Not here.

I wouldn't pay these.

Get them rewound using the TEC forms.

The One Show in half an hour says it will mention penalties sent to old addresses. May be worth a watch even though they're talking about a TFL penalty charge it's the same core issue (out of date DVLA addresses).

Due to the nature of these cases of yours, I strongly suggest that you post your query or queries over on the FTLA parking forum website after reading their posting requirements first,  because mse parking forum tends to focus on private parking company charges,  not TfL or council ones etc

As above. Get FTLA forum advice.

I watched that One Show Watchdog segment and was struck by a few things 

The lady in the Midlands or wherever had never been the registered keeper or registered address for the vehicle and driver that TfL and the bailiffs were chasing.   So clearly had not done around 21 dvla database checks  ( I thought that it would be one check per incident,  none of which led back to her address   )

The lady in the London area had not received a penalty notice because TfL were sending the paperwork to an old out of date address,  not her fault,  so it seems likely that TfL didn't do a fresh lookup from the DVLA database,  something i thought they had to do 

Both ladies were reimbursed after Watchdog got involved,  funny how that happens when the BBC  gets involved
