Re: advice sought
ring DVLA sounds like a scam and you will get the fines, parking tickets etc next

I would send it back to DVLA with a letter explaining that this vehicle is nothing to do with you and you have no idea who the other person is. Before the V5C goes back copy it. Paul

I agree with Goldstar. DVLA are quick to send £1000 fines out, so make sure you cover your back and photocopy everything. I know from experience.
A simple covering letter should sort it, but it could take 6 months to clear out of the system.

Not only DVLA quick sending out fines. Dartford crossing quick doing the same. I had a motor cycling friend visit me from overseas. I paid Dart Charge online for two crossings at £2.50p = £5. They sent him a fine for not paying???? They had billed him class B for one crossing which was correct at £2.50p the second crossing they billed him class C at £3. As that made him 50p short they sent him a fine not paying. As soon as I checked I saw this error. This seems to suggest the auto tolls are not always correct and fines are automatically sent out without checking for errors.alanengineer wrote:I agree with Goldstar.

Happened to me but I recognised the name (living about 3 miles away). She was wondering what had happened to her log book, left with her to sort out. Seems to be a common problem.
