    Just mention the charge of address ..the rest is just not relevant 
    You should include proof as well..it does help 

    Thank you so much! I will proceed to email them. I am sending them overseas bank statement and passport as proof. Really appreciate all the help!!
    Have you not got a utility bill (or similar) with your overseas address on it?  I wouldn't be giving an unregulated private parking firm sight of your bank statement. Not sure what your passport proves, and again, much too sensitive a document to send a copy their way. 
    I actually do not have utility bills as I live with my parents and the bills are in their name.

    For the bank statement I have redacted most of the information, and only kept the bank's letter head, my name and address as well as part of the account number.

    I am sending my overseas passport with my name and dob as proof of ID. I have redacted my photo and passport number and all the barcodes etc.
    Is your passport one issued by a 'foreign' country?
    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

    Yes it is issued by a foreign country.

    Could they have obtained information on my nationality from DVLA?

    Nope, just the last recorded address of the Registered Keeper, linked to the car's VRM (number plate).

    Agreed, it just needs a bare statement of change of address plus the notify all agents (e.g. debt collection or legal firms) to update their records and to write only to my OVERSEAS address above.
    Don't send a passport - they don't have a photo database to which to compare it.
