Son keeps getting tickets for cars he doesn't own

What if the registered keeper is falsely named and false address? There's no ID check.

You'd think it would be easy for the police to put a marker on the cars so they'd ping on ANPR

I would apply to DVLA for a new updated copy of the V5C, at your address, then if they come through, you will know for sure if they are registered to him there.

Do this

If they are then scrap and export the car.

Then do this - will be a right pain to unpick for the scrote... However the scrote probably does know your address, so might not be too wise...

Could the cars be reported as "stolen" so they get picked up by Police/ANPR? With the state of some things in this country, you've got half a chance of ending up with the bloody car being returned to you

You could put the relevant reg numbers into AskMID and see if they're insured, if they are then I believe you can pay to get the details since you have a legitimate interest. Send the details of the address on the insurance to whomever it is that's sending your son fines.

Why would random people all over the country be registering cars in your sons name at his old address ?

Wierd !

There'd no ID or address checks when doing a V5 update. There's been articles in the press about this, one house receiving thousands of letters as address of registered keeper.

What a scumbag. 4 months....hardly a deterrent having ruined some innocent guy's life, lost job, insurance etc. Failed asylum seeker too, who'd have thunk it.

That story makes no sense. If they are convicting and fining a Bob Smith of 1 Upton Road in Swansea (in his absence) then how is Bob Smith of 2 Downton Avenue in Pool getting points and bailiffs chasing them? Even if the pretend Bob Smith of 1 Upton Road signs the form saying it was him and giving the address of 2 Downton Avenue, court papers would still go to there and he'd just turn up and say sorry some mistake I've never been there or signed that?

Seems like that's a good reason for regularly checking your licence details.
