Lambeth Council sent me a PCN last june showing a car in a box junction

the only thing was I was an Alfa -- not my Golf -- i think the operator misread the VRN

I wrote to them explaining the matter -- and though nothing of it -- now they write (i suspect b4 the 6 month limit) asking me to send my V5 to them

this is my reply


You’re Ref: LH3575XXX
My Ref: P479XXX
18.12.08

Dear Mr White

I am astonished that you have written to me regarding this matter, a full 6 months after my letter to you regarding the alleged offence.

In my previous letter I explained that the VRN in the PCN belongs to my MK3 Golf GTI 16V not the car shown in the CCTV image.

I am not in possession of the V5 document, as I sold the car in July 2008. I do however have my original New Keeper Supplement (V5C/2).

I am not going to send the original V5C/2 to you and I cannot send a copy as I am travelling abroad tomorrow (19th December and will not be back before the 5th January).

Please note that this is taking up a considerable amount of my time which I charge at an hourly rate of £120.00. I am informing you that this has taken 90 mins of my time.

I will seek to recover my cost through the courts.

Please can you acknowledge this letter and reply BY RETURN OF POST to the above address.

Please also can you explain what steps you have taken to check with the DVLA that the VRN on the penalty charge notice matches the car in the CCTV Clip (Alfa Romeo Spider) and also please can you explain why your letter dated 15 December 2008 does not contain a return address?

Yours sincerely,


XXXXXXX
