Repeatedly subject to incorrect NIP by Metropolitan police.
Discussion
Hi BiB,
I would like to request some advice. My friend part exchanged a car to a garage earlier this year and made sure the he advised DVLA of this correctly.
The problem is that he has now been the subject of 6 NIP's ( from the OCU unit, and presumed to be camera NIPS as they state " supported by photographic evidence " ) incorrectly addressed to him. Each and every time he has to go through all the paper work and prove it is not him, and that he sold the car and followed his legal obligation to update the DVLA. The OCU often do not accept his version of events straight away and often ignore his letters completly, sending a further letter advising him that he will be prosecuted.
This is causing him not inconsiderable stress and is very inconvenient, and as he is an elderly gentleman this is more of an issue than you might think with implications for his health.
The DVLA seem to be blameless here, as their records were updated correctly and with further checks have advised him that he is not the current registered owner of the car.
Is there a way of stopping this once and forcing the Metropolitan Police/Camera partnership to update their records and to stop their harassment of an innocent man ?
Who does he complain to ?
